And you shouldn't have to give the money back. It should be handled via payroll deduction from future checks.

He already took the initiative to inform them of the mistake. It's not his job to pay it back.


Exactly. You dont pay money back, you just get deducted a certain amount each paycheck until the amount is recovered. Wife is going through this right now and is being deducted until the end of year.

What is he supposed to do? Direct refund it? Just keep it and note at some point they may take it back. As long as it is not spent and sits there and draws whatever piss poor interest rate the bank is paying then what does it hurt to keep it?

He should put it toward his back child support but he'll probably make a down payment on a jet ski to pull behind his F250.

Your friend needs to go to Vegas and spend it all on call girls and blow right NOW.

Clearly, he's either larcenous or a fricking idiot for even asking the question, so he might as well have a lot of fun before he goes to jail.

Keep it, but don't spend it because if there is money unaccounted for they will find it. Better to give it to them then than volunteer to give it because no telling where it will go if you just volunteer giving it back.

Sounds like an opportunity to be the Eddie Haskell of your office. Go to the person at the top of your office's food chain, and tell them how those payroll people are on the verge of cutting into his monthly bonus.

He reported it to payroll, she told him she would check it out. She called him couple days later and said she did not find anything. You keep it or give it back?


He did right thing. At this point keep it, let them suffer for incompetence

The money is not unaccounted for. They paid it to him for services rendered and put it in their books. He has already covered his arse by reporting it to them. I don’t think there is anything else to worry about at this point. If they figure it out (they won’t), he has his original email to call back on and can pay it back.

FYI, this happened to me once for a moonlighting gig. I reported it and they said all was in line. Their loss. I never heard anything else again about it again after that.

I feel guilty about anything I do wrong. I would have to give it back just for peace of mind.

I know a guy that was owed a $2400 check but received one for $24,000. It was from a government entity so it may not have ever gotten noticed. He put it in a CD and waited a year.

He had heard nothing so him and the girlfriend went on a binge. They ate and drank like kings and went through a lot of recreational pharmaceuticals. Then the money was gone.

The girlfriend decided she liked living like that so she dumped him to go find a guy with a fatter wallet. The break-up was nasty and she left pissed. She called the payroll at the county and let them know what had happened with the payroll mistake.

A week later he was contacted and had to set up deductions to pay it all back.
