    Don’t know how that works with the feds, but I worked IT for a private payroll firm. If we fucked up and put extra money in your account, that was your money. We had no means of taking it back. None.

    Imagine the possible scams if it wasn’t that way!

    Caveat: If the bank fucks up and deposits too much, while that’s on them, you don’t get to keep the funds.

    I’ll note: American employees, while not having the protections we should have, probably get more than you think. If you start work for us and I send you a $3,500 MacBook, and you quit next week? LOL, keep it. HR can’t hold your last check or any other such thing.
