Facts:
1) this institution is a hospital who doesn’t sign my paycheck. I get paid by a university and am a “contractor” graduate student
2) they were supposed to issue me a $2.5k reimbursement for a hotel I paid for
3) in email multiple times I asked them not to mail the check because I had mail stolen repeatedly from my apartment. This is reasonable deniability I received it
4) the sent the check to my admin’s desk and I picked it up there
5) today, lo and behold, is another $2.5k check in the mail
6) the hospital is a huge institution with strict bureaucrats running accounting. Somehow this got past them.
7) They don’t pay me a living wage. But I want to keep my job.
What should I do?
