I was recently fired from my job, and in an attempt to send my final paycheck early, they accidentally made two payments. They attempted to void one of them, but were unable to do so; as a result, they called asking me to return one of the payments either via check or cash to amend their mistake. Am I under any legal obligation to pay them back? Being able to keep this payment would provide me with a bit more security while looking for work again.
