Oct. 20th, 2017 08:28 amToday is payday and because the first pay period (we get paid on the fifth and twentieth of each month) was for the first fifteen days (the pay periods run 1-15 and 16-the last day of the month) I was expecting my check to be less than $1000 because it was for exactly eighty hours. When I checked my account this morning (I have direct deposit) I had over $2000! I admit I was excited and began planning which bills were going to get paid off/down.
On my way to work, I began thinking about it and so checked the statement and saw that I had been paid my vacation plus an additional 86.66 hours. I really wasn't going to say anything (hey, I'm severely under paid considering how much experience I have) but my conscience wouldn't let me do that.
So I emailed HR and they're going to hand cut me a check today so I can deposit it tonight and then reverse the direct deposit. I am so glad that they didn't say to keep it and they'll take it out of my next (hopefully several) check(s)* because I cannot afford for them to do that since the amount I was overpaid is equal (or more) to what I normally make.
*My very first ever paycheck for my very first ever job was too much. I remember getting it and asking my dad if he thought it was too much. He said it was so we went to the restaurant where I was working and told them. They said to keep it and they'd just take it out of my next check. Of course the amount I was overpaid then was only a day or two not a full pay period so.
