So I quit my job early this month due to personal reasons. I received what I thought was a final check mid month and thought that was that. But now at the end of the month I get what appears to be a week's worth of pay. The timing is just odd and makes me think it might have been an end of the month wrap up kind of situation. Like the final balancing of the books.
I actually left of half decent terms, but boss made it clear that I was “putting them in a spot” by quiting relatively suddenly. And frankly, I could use the money. If this in fact was a mistake is there any recourse for keeping it? Besides boss eventually asking for it back? If they never notice could I end up in an office space situation where I just keep getting paid? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I should probably just hit them up and say I noticed this and ask about it.
