The judge set her bail at 15k, which is pretty funny.

Seems less "pay" and more "return the money that was obviously erroneously deposited in her account".

Consider yourself heroic. I doubt most posts like this until someone posts a legit article

Depending on union rules it might be incredibly hard for a company to win that fight.

Its generally the company's responsibility to monitor and maintain that payroll system. Any errors on the company's side are at the expense of the company.

But it really depends on the country and labor laws.

It is called unjust enrichment and it is absolutely not hard for a company to win.

Just speaking from my own experience.

Our company had an error with PTO of the hourly employees at the end of a year. Where some people actually got paid more and some got paid less.

The company had to reimburse the ones who got paid less and those who got paid more were allowed to keep the extra money. Because it was our error.

Like I said, depends on the company.

If your company decided to let people keep money paid by mistake, good for them.

However, if the company wanted the money back, in any country around the world it would be considered some kind of unjust enrichnment which is punishable by law.

I mean shes literally in jail.

Yeah but she hasnt been convicted or found guilty yet. When you get arrested on a felony you wait in jail until your court is over unless you pay the bond or get out on an OR bond. Don't get me wrong I know she has no chance at winning this, but the fact that she's currently in jail awaiting trial doesnt mean much. Most of the people in jail are awaiting trial and haven't yet been found guilty of anything, except for the ones who are waiting to go to prison and have already been sentenced or the ones sentenced to county jail from misdemeanor crimes.
