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?

That happened to one of our staff. He kept mute. I discovered it with the Accountant,he was feigning innocence.

It will still be discovered latter during reconciliation of accounts and you might put yourstin great trouble.

Stupid question. U are free to keep it. Only scammers, greedy people, thieves ask this kind of silly question.

Whaooo , see how gullible you are , he asked a question and probably seeking for advice . You might be even worse in funds management because you people that are quick in criticizing, judging others are the worst.

Omo in bini language not yoruba. Expect their call soon, they will definitely find out. Return the money, it gives u integrity.unless the company is a billion dollar company to notice such error .

No need to play smart �

If I were the one I would refund it.

2) They will still find out and call you out.

why are you even debating if they will detect or not. The natural thing to do is to alert them. Anything other than that makes you a thief no matter your excuse

He should still return it. Whether its government Job or not.
I know what I'm saying bros.

When I served, a colleague was paid twice (19,800*2) for a particular month.
Fortunately for him, his case was an isolated one. Plus, who would he have reported the case to?
There was no issue till the end of the service year lol.

In another case, my father, when he was still working with government, was paid twice. However, his case wasn't isolated as many government staff also experienced same, due to ippis issue.

Those who reported themselves to the bursary had the excess money removed, while those who withdrew and spent all weren't paid the following month. Ah, they suffered, for I knew some of them personally. grin

what is there to answer or seek advice from. They paid u twice and u came your to ask if u should keep the money or inform them. If u don't know the right thing to do as a worker then u deserve to get fired.

In some organisations they'll detect themselves if u like don't return it next month salary you go hear am.
Re: Will You Return This To Your Company? by Raphaelmary(m): 3:09pm On Sep 12, 2022
I was once overpaid at work, I met the HR and she said she was just about to call me about it. The excess was deducted from next month's salary. I don't know if it was a test or human error. I also heard about a man that refused to meet the HR about his constant excess salary. When they later found out, he had to take home a meagre amount for a while to enable him pay up all the exccesses

Re: Will You Return This To Your Company? by NuCypher: 3:21pm On Sep 12, 2022
It has happened with me before. I returned it. Even if you are a criminal, this is not something you want on your head in an organization you are still working at. If they find out, your integrity is in question.

Integrity matters. I will simply return it, weather it's a test or not. I wouldn't give a demn if I will be really appreciated, or if I will be seen as Holy Nweje

Records and future is very important. It's not all about short-term benefits or goal

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.

papiilo, take this advice in your best interest

They don't need to detect, you just do the needful by paying back.

If not because our own society has Jettison good moral standard, you wouldn't have been asking us if you're suppose to do the right thing.

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

LOL...what happened to the Contract Guy?
