My work is overpaying me, if they find out can they take the money back?

I work as a chemist and make decent money but I'm still hourly due to the nature of my work. My company has treated me extremely well so when they asked if I was willing to switch my shifts to train someone I said yes. I am now working 3rd despite my contract (and the system) still saying I'm 2nd. Because of this the computer does not think I'm a 3rd shift worker and can't comprehend the overnight clock system.

But something must be going on with the way she's manually changing my hours and the system not computing, but my payslips are telling me that I worked a whole extra day, with two of my days being overtime.

So in an 80 hour week I get paid my normal pay for 72, and overtime pay for 16.

I didn't work overtime at all in the last few paychecks but it keeps paying me an extra $300-500. I let my manager know the first paycheck and she said she'd look into it but nothing's changed.

Can they take that money from me if they find out?
