So, I recently left my job about a month ago, that place was toxic, and the restaurant world is not improving any time soon.
Here’s the thing: I was a salaried employee, and they left me on the payroll for an additional pay period after I had left. I saw the direct deposit, and first thought was that I had messed up the pay period dates, lucky me. I go about my life for another month, no more deposits and didn’t think anything of it. A couple days ago, the finance guy calls me and says I’ve been overpaid, and they want their money back. I say I’ll check my records, but ultimately give him the brush off. Today, after no further communication, I see they’ve reversed the deposit in my account, which has caused me to overdraft, because almost two grand disappeared without warning. Finance guy won’t return my calls and the bank says they can’t do anything either.
Am I just totally screwed here?
Do I have any recourse at all?
