My wife was let go from her job just before Christmas.
Today, the final week in March, she gets a letter from the employer stating they incorrectly paid her too much and want their $86 and change back.
Choices on the letter are to take it out of the next paycheck or xx per month over the next several paychecks.
My initial inclination is to trash the letter and pretend we never got it. It wasn't sent certified mail and they can try and do whatever payroll deduction they want, she hasn't worked there for three months.
Stated reason was incorrect timecard entry, but that's not her fault, HR entered the timecards and frequently did it incorrectly.
What do you think? We aren't sweating $86, but it seems petty to go after someone three months after you already cut them a final check.
