I recently received a check in the mail from my employer. I had been on maternity leave and decided not to go b ack to work and I thought this was payout for vacation and comp time accrued while I was on leave. I cashed the check ($942) at a local supermarket. I recently received a letter from them saying that there was a stop payment on the check and they were going to prosecute me if I don't pay back the money plus $20 in bank charges. I am in Oregon. Did I break any laws here and is there anything that they can prosecute me for? I guess the stop payment was put on the check because my employer had put me back on payroll accidentally and a paycheck was automatically generated.
