[QUOTE="Josie, post: 373211, member: 1792"] This is just my opinion as a former manager of the accounting department. I was over the person who did the actual payroll and we had a personnel department who submitted the changes to us, which we then made. I think the person who received the extra money should pay it all back. I don't think you should have to reimburse any of that. She should have opened her paychecks and seen the error before now. We probably did have similar problems where people got overpaid and they had to pay it back. It seems a little harsh to me now, but I don't even think we gave them a choice about how much to pay back each time. I don't get how it is costing your company $750 to fix this, unless the payroll company is charging you to refile W-2's, etc. We filed our own so I have no idea how much that would be. I can tell you, we could have fixed this in not very much time, so if they are charging $750, that seems like a lot. Any additional taxes you might owe now, are taxes you would have paid if it had been done properly the first time, so that shouldn't count against you. If there is a penalty for underpayment, that would be your error that caused it. It has been 15 years since I have done this, so I might be missing something. I would not have fired someone over a mistake like this, if they had been a good employee for a long time. Mistakes happen. I also would not have offered to pay back the $750 at my job, either, if I were the one who had made that mistake. In today's economy, at your company, maybe it is a different story. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
