Sooooo my HR person just told me that they overpaid me for a week that I didn’t work and now I have to pay them back. Has something like this ever happened to you? What should I do?

Whenever I see that my check is more than usual, I always bring it up to HR first before I spend any of it. This how I avoid situations like this because I know it will come back to bite me at some point.

I had already used up all my sick days so this one was already less than normal so I didn’t think anything of it

Are they allowing you to pay it back in installments or will they take it out of your next check? This hasn't happened to me before. Are you salaried? I am, so my checks are pretty much the same every time.

I am salaried. They said I can pay it back over time.

All work done by your HR Department should be double checked. They forgot to update the withholdings of one of our staff and my coworker had to pay a significantly higher tax bill as a result.
Please share your experience with your co-workers so they are aware.

That’s not HRs fault…..your coworker should have bought that on the 1st paycheck and gotten that fixed ASAP!!

You might want to discuss a repayment plan with HR. They might allow you to spread it out over a few paychecks to lessen the immediate impact.
