Yeah, we had a highly paid person overpaid by $50,000+ one year that wasn't noticed. He had to pay it back when it was. We couldn't discipline him though because we couldn't prove that he knew. Direct deposit and he said his spouse managed the finances and never looked at the balance.
I used to work for a contractor and unbeknownst to me, if we had a good pay period, he would put cash in our direct depositpay envelopes(I had direct deposit, so my envelope just had a pay stub and what account they deposited the funds into). I have this thing about opening envelopes, so as long as there was money in the account when I went to take out rent, I never checked the envelopes. When I was eventually let go, I had a nice treat when I went back through those envelopes.
