As a side note, threads like this are exactly why I spend an hour or so searching online for candidates' activities on forums/message boards before extending offers for interviews.
So I asked you how you do it when so many people use fictitious screennames. Please share your expertise with us.
If the jerks on here were reading(comprehension on here is seriously lacking)
They would have known that I was going to swap some vacation time for the overpayment.
No one has answered yet: if I had every intention of stealing the money,what the hell was the point of me asking the question? Why would I sit up here wasting time posting?
First of all, "swap some vacation time" for the overpayment is still b.s. It was NOT nor was it EVER, your money. Stop trying to back peddle. You had every intention of keeping that money....here's your very first post:

What would you do?
You were going to steal it by keeping it knowing damn good and well it wasn't yours. We absolutely comprehend what you wrote just fine.
The thought crossed my mind,but my actions were one way or the other.
People are merely condemning me for thoughts.
I guess it goes like this:
Company pays you twice: your fault.
Company screws you out of your pay: your fault.
Compnay goes under: employees' fault.

But as I said,calling me names was uncalled for.
My family already said it was ok. If I didn't question it and really think about it,I would have spent it.
Stop acting as if you live to some higher moral standard. An HONEST person would not have even questioned it, they would have contacted the company right away....even if it "wasn't open", email and messages work 24 hours a day.
You are not some victim here. You were going to keep it and you wanted people to laugh and tell you it was ok.

Let me correct this for you.
Company pays you twice: Payroll's fault. They will correct it.
Company screws you out of your pay: Payroll's fault. They will correct it if you bring it to their attention.
Company goes under: Possibly employee's fault if they are stealing from the company by not reporting getting paid twice or even by being unproductive.
Have you ever made a mistake? I don't know why people expect payroll to never make any mistakes. It happens. Bring it to their attention and they will correct it.
Good grief, some people are really judgemental. To say she should be fired for not responding when her company made a mistake is ridiculous.
Yes, she should report it. But not reporting it doesn't mean she should be fired, all it means is that she shouldn't be surprised when the money gets deducted back out of her account.
She should be fired because of the moral character, or rather lack thereof, was shown clearly in her behavior.
Yes, employees are dishonest, some are worse than she is...but if an employer knows about an employee and knows they will do something like this, getting rid of the employee before they have the chance to do harm makes sense

I see what you're saying but I still disagree. I'd only agree if the employer itself has shown complete competence, which it already hasn't.
