Morning guys!

So this company where I work paid me twice in error. Do you think they will detect later that they paid me twice?

Go and tell them, it might be a test. Be the reason people believe some Nigerians are still trustworthy.

Please return it.

Why you should return it.

1. It improves your integrity in the eyes of the management.

How to return it.

Don't return it silently. Write a letter informing them you receive double if your salary and you want to recheck if it was done in error.

Let it be documented

It will all add to your trust level.

Yes, there's a possibility it might be detected later on and your integrity will be questioned.

I heard something similar happened years ago at one of these new generation banks. Some staff went on a shopping spree, a few didn't touch the money but privately called finance/accounts attention to the fact their salary accounts were credited in excess of what they should receive.

It turns out there was a technical glitch with the payroll software which caused double credits. In resolving the issue those who started spending the money without ever saying a word to HR or Finance were sacked. It was called an integrity issue, as in, they lacked integrity and couldn't be trusted with money.
Nice input, tnx dear

The system is automated and they will always eventually find out. During audit, reconciliation or some other exercise.

Especially if you have enterprise payroll solution.

We had a guy on contract who moved to another unit. For a year he was taking two salaries.

He was still found out.

It is only in cash based one man business with poor record keeping that you can get away with this

Should you even be asking this question?!

You need to alert the finance department so you can return the excess money paid to you

You should withdraw the money twice in error BUT be ready to be sacked once, this time around, NOT in error...
Na joke o, once u withdraw it, just be ready to work for free in the next month, and say goodbye to any form of promotion cos u have failed the integrity test which u will never recover from as long as you are in that organization

In this era of high innovation in ICT. The best thing to do is to refund and report because, any which way they will still detect.

Report it and return it back.

It's an integrity issue if you stay silent.

return their money even if they don't detect. Be a gentle man. But let me tell you that they will certainly know about it and they will penalize you for not notifying them
