No, it is not, if you were erroneously overpaid in a prior check, the employer can recoup that amount in subsequent paychecks---with or without your consent.

No, an employer is prohibited from doing so without going through other legal means to doing so. I suggest that you consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation/case.
