One check before Christmas and my job over pays me $166. They catch the error ask me not to touch it but I told them I had already been using it. They pulled thier money back out through the direct deposit leaving the account overdrawn by over $300, and insufficiant funds charges on the way. They are using an outdated excuse that they are not obligated to pay because the handbook says checks are given on Friday. I work a 3-day 12 hour shift and before that 4-day 10 hour. I can't remember the last check I got on a Friday! Also they have not used a Friday pay date for my shift for a long time. Guess it is convient to keep an old outdated handbook around while ruining a Christmas for a 6 year employee. I got my Christmas check Dec. 29th.

You might be out of luck.....
But sometimes, banks have been known to reverse overdraft charges if you explain the situation NICELY. Tell them that there was a clerical error with your company, and that your company is being very difficult to deal with on this matter, and that you'd like to see about having the overdraft charge reduced or eliminated. Sometimes, if you catch the right person, they'll hook you up!
Good Luck!

I'd just contact payroll or HR, it is very possible that your last check will be manual (mine from previous employer was just recently) due to the possibility of leftover vacation and or sick time, bonus' or money owed to the company (for training/school) But a simple phone call will likely answer your question.

Ouch...
Yeah I'm afraid you don't have any recourse from the bank's point of view. They are very good at covering themselves with all the fine print. As someone previously said you might be able to get some charges reversed if you explain what happened and ask NICELY. As far as the handbook ,it is possible an error was somehow made, your best bet on that one would be to talk to someone in your HR dept in charge of payroll. They can usually get you a straight answer. And if the bank doesn't rebate your fees don't be afraid to talk to someone at a different branch or higher up. Good luck.

When you sign up for direct deposit and give them a voided check and sign the form you are also signing up for direct withdraw. It is a 2 way door. I have seen this happen to others I have worked with. There is no recourse. Even though they made the mistake by overpaying you. You made the mistake by not immediately reporting it and then spending the money that was not yours. They see this as stealing and you are lucky they didn't fire you. They also have no obligation to pay your bounced check fees.

I don't think there is a recourse. It's your responsibility to keep such things in order when it comes to balancing a checkbook..it wasn't overdrawn by $166 so you would of bounced anyway if they didn't overpay you.
Also, when you got your paycheck and noticed that they overpaid you, you should of contacted them instead of thinking that they wouldn't notice and this fiasco would of not happened.
