My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Maryland
Greetings! I'm posting on behalf of my wife who has been over payed for the last couple months.
She is an hourly worker and an honest girl, so she informed her employer immediately. They thanked her and told her it would be fixed. Pay periods went by without the issue being corrected, each paycheck my wife informed them it was still not fixed.
One manager even told her she would not have to pay it back, only pay taxes on it.
Now, months later they tell her they want it all back in a week!. It's not a huge amount (under $1,000), and we have the money, but we feel it is not right to demand it back after she was told by a manager they would not try to collect.
I understand legally they can drain it from our account, and that her manager will deny what he said.
This was the last straw for her, she will be quitting her job this week. I contacted our credit union and they told me of a way that would prevent them from accessing the account.
If I block their access to the bank account and my wife quits her job tomorrow what can they do to get back the money? Is it wise to block them?
Any advice?
Thanks a lot for reading!
