I owe some money to my company, around 2,000 dollars.
Its up to the person in H&R to make sure I pay the money.
I think she wants to ‘do me the favor’ and forget about it.
What should I do??
It’s kinda silly to keep asking someone to take money from you…. But at the same time it might not be very smart to forget about it.
What would you do.

In two separate ocasions I have reminded her about it. And both times she has said: 'we'll disscuss it this afternoon' and that never happens....

Pay it back. If the "Higher-Ups" find out that the HR person is not doing their job they will find someone to replace her, and then you might find yourself out of a job.

I agree with you, i would hate to find out after I quit or something that the company was gonna sue you for the money you owed or something... you never know, better to be safe than sorry. I would put your request that "X amount of dollars be held from your check" in writing. Then I would give a copy to HR and your immediate supervisor. who knows the girl trying to do you a favor may get fired or quit and some one else come along and see the unpaid debt and cause trouble. good luck!

Pay it back. Some people you don't want to owe favors to, and your HR rep sounds like one of those people. But be sure to score yourself some points in the process. Write a letter enclosing the check or proposing a payment plan and copy the senior HR person at your company, as well as your supervisor, if that's appropriate.

Depends on your point of view. I would be UN-ethical for the HR rep to ask for favor for forgetting about money. BUT, what if he/she quits in six months, the books get audited (Publicly owned companies owe it to stockholders to be accountable for all funds and the IRS feels the same way.) I would rather pay to money back (in small installment payments), than have somebody hold favors over me. It is your choice ultimately, but I will bet you end of paying money back no matter what you do.

I suggest you document it. Ask her one more time if you need to talk to payroll or accounting about it if she doesn't know. The reason I say document, is that the company can come back and say you owe them and haven't paid them. This way you can show that you asked several times and no gave a process or a form or any sort of help. If you can send her an email, and if she responds, keep that as well.

If I owed money, I would pay it off. I don't need a new H&R guy getting the job the current one has and finding out I owe money and now with interest too.

Always pay your debts, regardless of the circumstances. What happens if the person in HR is fired or quits, and someone who takes her place doesn't want to forget about it? What if that happens a year after you 'forget about it' and the company decides to sue you?

I would wait it out. If they don't ask for it, then it is like you never owed it.

She might want to forget it; an audit later might call it fraud and collusion.
Pay your debits.

Legal answer: wait and see if they ask for it. If they do, pay it.
Moral answer: Pay it if you owe it.
