4/14    So I quit my company 2 months ago but I'm still getting paycheck
        from them. I'm pretty sure something's wrong with the accounting.
        I guess it's just a matter of time before they find out. Can they
        legally withdraw money from my account when they find out?
        \_ accepting a paycheck from a job you no longer work at
           is fraud, end of story.  return the money and get on with
           your life.
        \_ Tell the payroll office about it now, and don't be helpful about
           returning the money you have.  You can hope that interdepartmental
           politics will keep payroll from contacting legal and you might get
           to keep it.  The moral thing is something else of course... but
           you did quit, so maybe they screwed you over?  Eh...
        \_ Blow up the accounting office or hack their computers.  Be a MAN!
        \_ of course.  it's their money.
        \_ it depends.  If you're getting paper paychecks then no.  But they
           can sue you for it and will win.  If you're EFT then yes they can.
           Either way, I wouldn't spend the money until they're out of
           business plus a year.
        \_ Why can't the guy quit while he's ahead?  That is, close the
           bank account.
           \_ Because they'll just sue him and he'll lose.  Welcome to the
              world of adults where accountability exists.  Silly rabbit.
        \_ No. BUT... Since you know you're not working for them, any money
           received works as a claim of fraud. Since it's been a couple of
           months and probably a good amount of money recieved, you could be
           charged with embezzlement and felony fraud. Notify the company and
           arrange to return the money. If you withdrew against this money,
           it adds credence to the charges. After two months of getting checks,
           you'll be hard pressed to claim ignorance and proving "good will"
           in notifying the company of the error. Return the dough and hope
           they don't ask for interest back.
        \_ This happened to me and a fellow coworker at Cisco. He told them
           after the first paycheck arrived and they told him to keep it...
           I mailed them after receiving three paychecks (~$5K) and they
           never mailed me back but stopped sending checks. A few months
           later I deposited the checks into a money market account. I didn't
           touch the money for two years. It's been three years since. ymmv.
