Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
Paid in error
I live and work in NY state and I recently switched jobs. This morning I did my banking, and found that my old company direct deposited my account with my biweekly amount minus applicable taxes. This is 4 weeks to the day after my last day working there. What does NY state law (or federal law if it applies) say about this type of situation?

It's called larceny. Contact your bank and return the money.
