Employer Negligence - Continued Direct Deposit After Resignation
I recently left a company after submitting a 2-week notice of resignation. Since I refused to inform my old employer where I was going in to protect my safe landing, I was told that I would have to leave immediately (according to company HR policy that I was already aware of). Now I am in the employ of a new company but I am still receiving direct deposits from the old job. I waited 3 2-week pay periods to make sure this was not just payment for my two weeks plus two weeks of built up for vacation. Letters of resignation were hand delivered to two 2-upper level managers, the HR manager, and a back-up HR representative. I know that this is not the ''bank's fault'' as it is in many cases that I've seen on these forums, but actually negligence of my previous employer to complete the necessary paperwork to stop my salary payments (I'm not even completing timecards that we were always told were necessary to get paid!). I'm still accruing vacation!

What actions am I obligated to carry out if any?

If you are receiveing deposits in excess of your accumulated entitlements, you have an obligation to inform the depositor and return the money.
