I've had home health patients that want to keep their skilled nursing hours up tell me to "just work for an hour and leave". It's likely that if I did that, no one would be the wiser -- but then I'd have to live with my conscience bothering me, and what would happen if someday someone discovered the truth?
My integrity isn't for sale. You did the right thing! But no harm in daydreaming "what if" sigh. . . . .:)
I was once overpaid holiday pay along with other staff members at ths hospital I work at. I turned the error in, but soem staff members kept quiet. When the accounting department made corrections, the amount was taken out of my paycheck in installments. The staff members who kept quiet had it all taken in one paycheck. It pay's to be honest!

Okay, I'm not complaining...but I was checking my bank statements and realized that my agency overpaid me for 12 hours that I didn't work. I called in sick that day. Yes, the evil side in me wants to keep this. I could use some extra money for Christmas. Okay, okay...I am going to call the agency first thing Friday or Monday and let them know.
Has this ever happened to anyone? I have had issues with my check coming up short and they took FOREVER to correct it. They overpaid me once at the facility I am currently working at and I let them know, and they corrected this fast, lol.
Wished I could keep that extra money but....
