In a past life I was over paid 12k over the course of a months. I made pretty great money and just had a promotion so I had no idea and I’m fiscally irresponsible so I never checked my stubs. Bummer news to get though. I paid it all back. VP called and was super apologetic. HR manager was later fired for this (and other negligent actions). The point is, it’s not the employee’s fault. They’re worried about putting food on the table and shit. But you can admit your mistake and ask for it back over a period of time. Or admit your mistake, say don’t worry about it because it’s only 300 bucks, and you’ll likely have a loyal employee. Or a super disloyal one. I don’t know this person.
