    A very interesting conundrum
    Currently I work and go to school at my college as a math tutor.

    My paid position there was to be 10.75 an hour. When I received my check, it was stated my hourly rate was 1,075 an hour, 100x times more.

    The checks have a 1 year expiration date.. I am at a loss. Do I cash the check and quit, or do I report the problem? Normally I would report it.. but this is a very large sum of money, and would help me pay off my tuition.

    And it would help your education esp in criminal justice when the school catches it and you end up being convicted of a felony for threft by deception.

    So you take it in and tell them

    I am at a loss as to how it would be a felony if it is the schools mistake and not mine.

    If you cashed the check, it would be a felony.
