brianforster Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I quit a job with no notice, I just stopped coming in, this was on April 2nd. I got my final paycheck 2 weeks ago, which was my full amount, and I had worked 3 days on the next pay period, but due to a negative leave balance, I expected them to withhold this final 3 days of pay. Today was the day in which I was supposed to get that final 3 days, instead I get a paycheck for my full amount. Can I take the money and run? Or can they come after me later when/if they find their mistake? The paycheck is from the DC government because I worked in DCPS. My mother thinks this may be the money they take out from my regular salary in order to send me paychecks over the summer, the paycheck says regular 56 hours (I worked 24) and sick pay 24 hours (never called in sick). The pay period in question had 2 paid holidays, and normally they show up as "holiday pay" so with this being absent from the check, it leaves me with questions.

buenosdiaz Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 lol DC government will pay you for the next 3 years before they process all your paperwork and find out youre gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulane Skins Fan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 You probably had sick days and vacation days for which they are obligated to pay you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Call them to check it out. Besides your moral obligation to give the money back if it was a mistake, I am pretty sure they can come after you if you "take the money and run." Not sure though, but I would take the safe route when dealing with the government and finances :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy28 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I would call and find out if its in error...oh wait you just abandoned your job. They might not be too nice to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I just recieved a paycheck for time I didn't work. Knowing you, you probably didn't work, the whole time you were employed there, so what's the big deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know me? edit: The reason I think it may not be an error is this: During this pay period we had 2 days off, good friday and easter monday. On every other payday with a holiday, it said "holiday pay" and the corresponding hours. On this paycheck, even though there were 2 government holidays located in this pay period, it only says "Regular" and "sick pay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BALLz Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 You will have to pay that money back. They same thing happened to my wife. She got paid for an entire week she didn't work. Like $800+. She got a letter almost a month later saying she need to give the money back. I would definately call on it. And be warned, not only might they take their time sending you a notice that you need to repay, they will probably take their time processing the paper work once you do. My wife sent back the repayment in January and she is still getting calls about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
