I'm a resident of California and applied for a transfer/job promotion to a new position within the company. Immediately after I accepted and signed the job offer, I found that there was a "transfer" freeze and I was unable to transfer to the new job until 2 months later. As compensation for delayed transfer, my current manager, through his boss, told me that perhaps it could be worked out that I could be paid the higher salary until I was free to go to the new job. I was paid the higher salary and was pleased with that. Subsequently, the company ran into financial difficulties, and my new job was in limbo, but I never received confirmation that the job was no longer available. After nearly 4 months I have now been told that human resources wants a repayment of the overpayment. Can the company legally ask for this? Thanks for any suggestions!
