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.
I’ve been an employee and employer. As an employee of a big organization I wouldn’t tell them if I was overpaid and would not care one bit how they felt when they found out about THEIR error.
As an employer of a small company, yea I wouldn’t fire because good labor is hard to come by but would definitely look at them differently and be more csteful/less trusting of them lol
