Over payment for terminated employee

The money would have to be repaid to the human resourses,you should of known how long your benifits were for.

Yeah, i agree, you'd have to repay the money back to HR, as that is not yours. and they could take you to court over it if they wanted too

Thank You!

If the employee cashed the checks it is considered theft, and depending upon the total amount it could be a felony. If you are the employee then contact the company asap to see about making payments to repay it. Some companies will not make payment arrangements some will, they do not have to. Also, make sure that they contact the IRS to let them know you did not earn that money so it won't be a tax liability next year. Good luck, Susu
