I’ve been super busy opening another location and haven’t been checking our payroll every week like I normally do. Did a review today and saw we overpaid an employee by $300 last month because he didn’t clock out. It would have doubled his pay so there’s no way he didn’t notice. Asked him and he said “honestly can’t remember when that was,” meaning he was aware of it but chose not to tell us. Would you fire him? We like him but it feels like stealing.
This is dumb and sounds like a typical repayment scam.
“Oh no, I’ve overpaid you, please send me a money order for the balance.”
If this can’t be handled properly through the banks, it probably is a scam.
