[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 373224, member: 7083"] I have a hard time believing that the employee didn't realize that her paycheck didn't change. She knew the amount when she was working full time, and it didn't change. I can't believe that she thought that her daughter was putting in the exact amount she was making when she was full time. Honestly, I think she should be losing her job. She was essentially stealing from the company. I worked in payroll and in general accounting. The employee has to pay back the overpayment. It can be deducted (and should be) from her paycheck. I don't know what to say about the $750. I would feel culpable, too, and feel like that was my responsibility. I would probably offer and see what your boss says. I do know that we had a client who worked for a mortgage broker who failed to lock in a customer's interest rate and was forced to pay out of pocket the difference - in the thousands of dollars. But - the employee should have reported the overpayment, too, so ultimately I think she should be responsible for any expenses the company incurs because of this. If she hadn't reported the overpayment, she would be charged with theft (still could be) and would have to pay restitution. Aren't hours turned in on a timesheet? Is it possible that the bookkeeper has some culpability, too? I hate having to wait to address something like this, too. I screwed up at work big time once, and my boss was on vacation. It was a horrible weekend. Well, I've screwed up more than once, but that was the only time I had to wait to address it. Ugh. [/QUOTE]
