Yes and they should be able to ask for it back from the employee. Ask a lawyer for a free consultation they shoud give it to you.

You must have spent the money. You know that it was to much too. If you spent the money maybe you can work out a payment plan. Also, how did you know--the Lord bless you. You thought it was yours. The data entry clerk made the mistake let that person pay if it comes up. Remember you thought it belong to you. Not your fault. Most of your worries never happen. How could the company make a mistake--perfect people. Take all the money out now and get another account.

Yes, but the state determines how long they have to ask for it back. In some places it's 6 months, in others it's a year, others are different.
This happened to me before and I told the company. They actually insisted it wasn't them (afraid of admitting an error?) and I got to keep the money - about $400.

It depends what country this employee is in...but yes they can and do! I know that it is true in Australia. Besides refusing to give the money back and continuing to work there might prove to be an uncomfortable working environment.

The bank did this to my account several years ago. Twice. I tried to tell them they made a mistake, and they arrogantly stated "we don't make mistakes". So, I made a withdrawal. Both times.
Can the company ask for it back? Yes, if they realize the made the mistake.

It sure can, and it may be a test to see if the employee is trust worthy, and honest.

Of course, especially if they can provide substantiation of the clerical error. Don't spend it until you verify that it was intentional.
