Am I owed this paycheck? UPDATE PG4: OH LAWD, ITS STILL COMING
Posted on 7/30/21 at 6:30 am

My last day of work at a salaried job where I was paid twice a month was July 8th. I received a full paycheck on the 15th, which I thought would be my last. I unexpectedly received a full check this morning. Am I entitled to this check since I worked part of the month? Or do I need to go ahead and contact my previous employer?

Are you sure it isn’t vacation being paid out or something similar?

I would let them know. They will claw it back if they figure it out. Unless they paid you vacation time owed on that pay check run.

I would ask the former employer about it. There is no such thing as magic money. If they find out later a mistake was made, they’ll be in your arse to get that money back.

Different states have different laws, but I recall an attorney telling us we had to adjust our policy manual if we wanted to take a similar approach. Basically, if the manual does not say this, they have to pay it out.
Edit: I should specify, our situation involved sick time with the way it was accrued (similar to PTO) actually contradicted they way we applied (use it or lose it during the year). So, we had to lump it all together as PTO and specify the portion considered sick and our policy at separation.

Depends on when they pay you for your time. That check in 7/15 could have been for the 2nd half of June, and this check is for the 1st half of July

Happened to me once. I contacted them, and never heard back. Kept the money and they never tried getting it back.

In two jobs I left in Alabama, they paid the % of vacation accrued minus whatever I had used.
Example:
Employee gets 4 weeks vacation per year.
Employee uses 1 week of vacation in March.
Employee quits half way through year, thus earned half of 4 weeks or 2 weeks vacation.
Employee is entitled to pay of 2 weeks minus the 1 week used, thus paid 1 week of vacation pay.

Just keep it.
If they come back later, you can even up.
But odds are overwhelmingly that you’ll never hear from them again.

Don’t do anything unless you get a paycheck on 8/15. Then address it.
Posted on 7/30/21 at 7:56 am to Ssubba
Usually it's a month behind, at least that is how our is.

Did you leave on good terms? If you did, call them now and make sure it’s all cleared up. No need to potentially burn bridges.
I’d still call even if you left on bad terms. No reason to give them an excuse to frick with you down the road.

This could be a reverse Milton situation from Office Space. They allowed him to stay around and quit paying him. They allowed you to go home and kept paying you.
I wouldn’t be surprised if your next check shows up as well.

What does the paid through date on the check say? Log into Dayforce or whatever system they use and look at the details.

This mighta been addressed but are you paid for the month before?
So like, this pay was actually for the first week of July?

The rules when I was working (100 years ago) were if vacation is earned (You get none until you have worked a specified time period) they must pay you. IF you have vacation the first day, it is an unearned benefit and they don't have to pay it.
Of course. Roosevelt was president when those were the rules.
If in doubt, talk to the wage and hour people in your state government and they will know. May get complicated if you work in Kansas for a company with headquarters in Florida, or some such cross state deal.

I'd keep it since it probably isn't much being that you are a Bama fan. Surely you can't be intelligent enough to have a good job.

I had this happen, got an extra paycheck, didn't notice it at the time as I wasn't monitoring the bank account closely.
Anyway, they took it back out of my account a few weeks later without saying anything, I noticed it that time because I had moved money and it depleted the account.
