Company is trying to deduct a payroll mistake from my next paycheck.

I sustained a workplace injury and was off for approximately a week. Management used my sick days, vacation days and even manually keyed in regular pay during my time off, without consulting me. I was planning on using workplace injury benefits to cover time off, to keep my accruals. I went through workplace benefits and am receiving payment from them, so now my workplace wants to deduct their mistakes from my next paycheck. They want to give me back the sick and vacation days and outright have me pay back (in the form of taking it from my next paycheck) the day they paid me for as a normal working day. Can they do this? What suggestions do you have?
