My employer overpaid me by $100 on my last paycheck?

What would you do if your employer had underpaid you by $100? It would probably involve profanity and accusations of stealing.

The honest, least complicated thing to do would be to cash the check and inform the employer so they can reduce your next check by $100. That way they don't have to mess with writing another check.

Of course you could just cash it and pretend you didn't notice. If you do that, you have a much bigger problem on your hands.

Everyone has their price for sacrificing their integrity. Fortunately, most people go through life without ever finding out what that price is. If you're willing to sacrifice your integrity for $100, your problems go much deeper than anything $100 would buy.

they could discover it in the future and take the money back out of a future paycheck - perfectly legal - tell them and don't spend that money

Go ahead and check into it with payroll. Better to give the money back now, before you spend it. They WILL figure it out and the week they decide to take it back, may be even more inconvenient. (like rent week)

It may be due to the payment system they use for example the Final Decution System will refund you money if you were over taxed the perivious months.

Eventually, the books somewhere will not balance and they will either ask for it back or just deduct it from your paycheck.

They will figure it out.

If you do not tell them now, when they notice their mistake, they will assume you are either an idiot or a thief....neither would bode well for your future there...

They will eventually figure it out, and ask for it back. {But are you sure it is not unused sick time or vacation pay? Maybe overtime?} <
