What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My son received a letter in the mail today from his former employer, the City of Fort Lauderdale, where he worked as a lifeguardfrom October, 2016, through July, 2017. The letter reads in part:
During a recent audit of the City's payroll records, we discovered an error regarding your wages. Beginning pay period beginning October 9, 2016, you erroneously received a wage adjustment resulting in an over payment of $1,258.60 This amount was calculated from check date 10/28/16 through 7/7/2017.
He was then offered two repayment options: 26 pay periods or 52 pay periods, automatically deducted from his pay until the alleged over payment is satisfied. The letter asks him to return within 24 hours his acknowledgement of being overpaid and his preferred repayment plan. But he no longer works for the City and hasn't since July, 2017. Is he obligated to repay the City?
Thank you.
