Are these paychecks mine to keep?
Hello,
I verbally accepted a position with an insurance company. The agreement was pending a drug test and credit check. In the meantime I went to work for a different company. I never reported to work at the insurance company and then 3 or 4 weeks later I received a paycheck from the insurance company. Taxes were withheld and it was just like I was working for them except I never started work there. I have received 4 paychecks and am starting to wonder if this money is mine to keep. At the very least I will earn what interest that accrues until they catch this error. Do I have to pay the money back? After all, it does say Non-Negotiable all over the paystubs!
Thanks for any help you may provide.
