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

Once you leave you don’t have to pay it back. Look it up. Payroll errors are the company’s issue not yours. My colleague got a double severance from VMware. He moved the money and they could not back it out. 5 years later nothing has happened.

They def asked for it back. Doesn’t mean you have to pay it. Talk to an employment attorney to verify.

You do know that you work for an accounting firm, correct? But this happened to me many years ago, first job out of school, mixed my check with someone else, pay check was $54k plus a hefty add to my 401k, told my boss, they reversed it but got to keep the gains in my 401k couple hundred

Listen up Deloitte analyst. Look at it this way. This is the only way that the firm will ever pay a non partner what they are worth. Chances are you can collect until the end of the quarter or end of year. That being said 3 months = 6 biweekly cycles. = 120k or 480k for the year. At your current 50k a year you would be ahead 2.2 years or 7 years by end of the year (baked in some small incremental increases and deducted 1.5 Years). Leave by the end of the year or end of quarter. Either way you win since most kids out of school avg 2-3 years at their first firm
