If you are not entitled to the pay, you should not keep the money. Contact the payroll department, clear up the company's error, and make arrangements to return the money. You should copy the reimbursement check, and send it by certified, return receipt mail to have a record of its return.

Return the unearned pay or face criminal and civil charges.
