read your contract , call HR , return any monies owed

I'd keep a record of work you've been doing. Be able to show them something...

Use the old, you kept paying me so I kept working on stuff for you.

Perhaps they think you're a liability to the company but don't have legitimate grounds to fire you so they're just paying you till the contract is up?

I did something similar when I got fed up with my last job, they paid me for 2 months too while I just called in sick every day (more like once a week and didn't show up for the other 4 days), though I still have a key to the place.

Close the account they are direct depositing into. Open an account and put only your money into it. Open a different account and put the money you calculate they overpaid you into it. The goal is to stop any additional overpayments and separate your money from theirs. The goal is to also sever access by your former employer to your bank accounts.

Find out who the head of HR is. Send this person a written notification stating that:

- You have been overpaid

- You have closed the account.

- You have calculated how much they have overpaid you and the amount.

- You have put the additional overpayments into a separate account and are awaiting their agreement to the amount and instructions from them of how to return it to them.

- That you expect the W-2 you receive from them for the current tax year to only include the amount of income and taxes that you actually earned.

- Send this letter by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Do not send any money until:

- They agree on the amount of money they overpaid you that is now sitting in that new account.

- They agree to send you an accurate W-2. (You may want to add up your pay stubs for income, taxes, fica, medicare tax, etc. so you know what the W-2 should say.)

- They send you instructions on how the remaining money should be returned and to whom.

You need to protect yourself in this instance. The money is not yours, but you do not want a payroll department that is this inept to just decide how much you owe them and just take it out of your account. And make no mistake they have access to your current account.

The letter shows good faith on your part that you know you've been overpaid, have tried to resolve the situation and you are trying again.

If they don't agree with you on how much you were overpaid, you may need to get a lawyer.

Do not spend any of this money. You can go to jail if you don't handle this right. You can easily be sued if you don't handle this right.

Get ahead of any future arguments from them.

Calculate various "pre-net / post-gross" sums. They may try to charge you for everything after taxes. This is unfair. You should not compensate them for healthcare premiums. You should not compensate them for payments to your 401k. They need to collect this from the HMO or retirement management company. If you're hit with a bill or rebuttal larger than what you're saving be prepared to know how they arrived at this calculation.

Do not spend a dime from the account. If they accuse you of theft/fraud, you'll have a dead account history with nothing but deposits coupled with your letter, all demonstrating good faith.

Don't be dumb about this. Let them be dumb enough for both of you.

Yeah that's what would be hard for me. Why should I close an established account and throw all of my other transactions into chaos because some retarded employer fucked up? I don't know if the people suggesting this are cucks or Jews.

What I might consider is revoking the direct deposit agreement on your end through the bank. And that's only because I would be concerned about those retards stealing more through a reversal than they put in and having to fight for months over the difference.

Worst case scenario you give the money back. Best case scenario you keep it. Like the other anon said you could say that you assumed that working from home was fine based upon some random convo you had with the boss.

cookie-cutter case of intentional fraud. only if he separates the money and sets the record straight can he prove he's never intented to profit off of their error.

except he'd be forced by his third-rate public defender to take a plea bargain or go broke on hiring an actual lawyer. and good luck on convincing an actual jury that "innocent until proven guilty" applies. jurors presume guilt. if you were innocent you'd not be standing in front of them.

also, "play stupid" is the dumbest thing he could do. when confronted with authorities: SHUT THE FUCK UP. literally plead the fifth every goddamn time, no exceptions.

you have a naive conception of the US legal system.
