Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Overpayment

My old company is claiming that they overpaid me, and want me to pay them back. That was over 7 weeks ago. Am I required to pay them back? They said that the paywork was not processed correctly on their part. I didn't even notice or think of anything about them overpaying me, my check looked the same.

Re: Overpayment

Is it definitely an overpayment, or an argument that they overpaid you. IF you agree that you were overpaid, and the payment was made in error you need to give the unearned money back. IF you believe (with good faith) that you are entitled to the money you may keep it and they will be required to prove that you were unjustly enriched.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.
