What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
Hi everyone, I have a question. I need legal advice and not moral advice on this one...My wife works for a rather large company, globally known. She can buy stuff that they make in the store and send in the receipt and they will give her a percentage back. Let's say they are door knobs that she bought. Her percentage back should have been about $100. This big globally known company just bought the small company she used to work for so this is the first time we sent in for this rebate. The problem is, well...They sent her a check for close to $5,000, which we think is her rebate check, it just says security in the memo line, nothing else. She got her paycheck direct deposit as she normally should and as she has for years. We beleive this is a screw up from the big company. We've held onto the check for about 2 months now because we are scared to cash it. No one has said anything to her about it, and no one else at work has said anything about them getting one. We haven't talked to anyone about this. Do you think they are testing her to see if she is an honest employee? Can they do that? Legally?
Should we cash it? We could really use that money for some medical bills, but we don't want her getting fired for cashing it. What could they do to her if she cashes it and later finds out about it or if they are testing her? What do you think we should do? Thanks in advance for any help.
