1st year Analyst here. Should I tell HR/Payables that they added an extra 0 to my salary/paycheck and that I’m receiving $20,000 biweekly paychecks instead of $2,000?

IRS once screwed up a refund check and sent me 4.07 instead of $407. I let it slide for a couple of years and then when I was truly broke and about to get married, I called them and they saw the error... They sent me a check for like $582 (they added interest). But then the next year they sent me a 1099-INT for the interest income they paid me, so I owed taxes on it.

This happened as a test a few years back when there was only one spot for a female partner so the tested 3 women. First one reported it right away and got honesty points. Second kept it and got sales acumen points. Third one gambled, won big, retuned the overage and Kept the game. But only one made partner. You know which one, right? The one with the big tits

I know someone who this happened to and they had to repay all of the extra money, as you might imagine. If the company accidentally pays you for more than your contracted wage you do not have legal rights to that money and they can demand repayment as soon as they notice, even if you already spent all the money you’d still have to pay it back somehow
