Hi,
At my previous job (which I was hired for a one year contract, and they knew up front the date I would finish) I had direct deposit set up. 2 weeks after my finish date I received one pay periods worth of money deposited into my checking account. I assumed it was because my first paycheck was 2 weeks after I stared working.
Now, three months later - after the money is gone to car payments and rent - I get an email from the company stating that they made an accounting error and they want the money back. Currently, I don't have anywhere near that amount of money to give back in a lump sum like they want it.
What are their legal rights, and mine in this situation? Thanks in advance for any help.![]()
