for my past 2 paychecks they have been paying twice per hour what i should be getting.

when I got the first one I decided I woudn't say anything and hope no one noticed now that it looks like something else is the problem and I'll contine getting payed this way till I speak up or they catch it.

should I tell them I'm being over paid? or should I just keep quite till they notice, but then I would proubly have to pay them back :(

They will figure it out sooner rather then later and yes you will have to pay them back.

Donate the extra to charity. If they ask for it back call them greedy monsters and sue.

you will be stupid for not telling them. think of yourself as the employer, what will you think of this employee?

stop being short-sighted and stupid.

this is an opportunity for you to shine by openly letting them know you're not entitled to this check. ;)

I know its working for the city and its about time for the yearly budget so I'm sure they'll catch it...ironically what I'm getting paid now is what I should be getting paid due to the national average. oh well as is the life of a videographer 6 more mounths in this place then hopefully I'll have the "experence" points nessesary to get a real job.

When I was done w/ my internship they continued paying me. It took me 2 weeks to notice and when I told them they told me to keep it as they never would have noticed....

yeah thats what I should say if I don't tell them and they find out. I'll tell them I just figured I was told I got a raise and wasn't paying attention, and I didn't want to look like a moron :D

Happen to me before. When I got the job, my manager told me this is my wage, but when the check came its much more.
Later found out that, I got paid more because I got a degree. No mistake.:confused:
