Overpaid wages due to an error by payroll

I FINALLY get to post here about some work bullshit and I’m hype lol My wife doesn’t understand it but it’s ok. So, I recently changed jobs for better pay and to get away from miserable manual labor.

My wife doesn’t understand it but it’s ok.

So, I recently changed jobs for better pay and to get away from miserable manual labor. Prior to putting in my 2 weeks notice the wife and I discussed using my annual/sick leave to take off those 2 weeks because I was sick of the job and the people and didn’t want to return.

My schedule at that job was mon-thurs, 6-4:30. 40 hour weeks. I had 79.25 hours of leave banked with one more pay period of accrual that would have put me around 84. I spoke to my supervisor about using the leave for my 2 weeks, he checked it and saw that I had enough to cover the 2 weeks and OK’d it.

4 days ago I got a letter in the mail saying an error was made and I was paid for 10 hours worked plus 4 hours of “term pay” and I only had 2.25 hours of leave to cover a 10 hour shift. So I “owe” them 175 bucks.

I emailed asking if there had been a mistake because I know for a fact I had the leave to cover the 2 week period. They told me to contact the office who submitted the error and corrected it which was the local office I worked for.

Apparently when I started the job I signed something stating if I was ever overpaid I would pay it back.

I’m not gonna pay it back. I told them I would not be paying for stamps/envelopes or money orders and they said that’s my only option.

So I told them to send it to a collection agency and I’ll settle it for 15 dollars.
