Payroll error in employees favor
I work as a municipal firefighter and was given a temporary promotion and 5% raise in 1995.
3 months later I wasa given a permanent promotion and my pay was adjusted to the new positions scale.
The payroll department did not stop my temporary pay increase and I just found the error myself in mid January 2000. I now owe in excess of $9,000.
Is there any limitation on how the city can elect to recoup the overpayment of wages?
Is there any limiting factor to the amount that can be recovered by the city?
