I think I got overpaid for flight.

[madison79]

So I just checked my bank account and found that my bonus and flight money came in but i had 2 million extra.  I think it's from my last co worker who had some issues sending money home and getting the paper work in on time.
Obvs I'm not keeping the money but I'm wondering if anyone has had this happen? 
thanks

Keep it. I got overpaid once, was great.

No, I'm not that type of person.

your pension

your pension

I should have explained that I'm going on my 5th year straight.  I got my bonus of 2.2 and 4 million as well.  I never cashed out my pension and it's about 6 million last I checked.

Why would it be from your old coworker? You guys don't have the sa,e bank account, I presume.

[ganstar]

about 6 million+ sounds right, your last month salary times two plus your renewal bonus.

Long story that I don't want to get into but trust me i could see them put the money into my account since she had issues about getting her NH bank to send the money over.  She told me that she got the money.
I work for EPIK and I re contracted for another year.
So what I don't understand is I got paid on August on the 25th and Sept 8th I got my bonus and 4 million for flight.  This seems really high since I should have only gotten 2 for flight and 2.2 bonus.  The extra 2 million won is what I can't figure out since my new pay rate is higher than that. 
I'll contact them and find out.  Thanks for the help.

You don't get flight money for renewing. You are eligible for severance (equal to 1 month of your current salary) and renewal bonus (2 million). You get flight money when you don't renew, and that is part of your EXIT ALLOWANCE.

 Okay, so I didn't use proper EPIK approved terminology for this money.  After 4 years of renewing I'm pretty sure I know what I should get but confused if I missed something.

I was paid an extra amount of money when I was first paid (I know this is not the same situation you're in) but no one ever said anything to me. It wasn't quite as much as you were overpaid (I still don't know quite the exact overpayment amount) but no one said anything to me about it. For me, even though we were told otherwise, I assumed they paid me for orientation. I agree with other posters and wait and see and also I want to add just don't spend it. If they ask for it back just give it to them. If a very long period of time goes by with no one asking for the money back you can feel assured that it belongs to you and wasn't a mistake.

It depend on whether it will be a hassle for them to deal with it.  They may get frustrated, or plain dislike being corrected.  If you find a mistake someone might get in trouble.

"There's nothing moral or virtuous about giving the money back. You can bet your ass the school would pocket the cash if they came up with extra."

Mr Shackelford, there is something moral and virtuous about giving money back that doesn't belong to you. Two wrongs don't make a right and what goes around comes around, so someday, somehow, you would pay for that dishonesty.

To the OP just go to the Admin office and check it up. Perhaps you are just lucky.

Haha! If only the world were that simple and the virtuous were always rewarded and the "dishonest" always paid.

I suspect Rusty is right and that there has been no error but if it's weighing on you, check it out. Could be severance pay from multiple years and if you've been paid your severance at the end of each year then perhaps it's an admin error in that regard. It's worth remembering that you are probably the only teacher at your school with your contract so sometimes they slip up from lack of experience with it or make false assumptions based on what they're used to.

PS you could always take your bank book to the bank and have them update all of your transactions. Sounds like it'll take a while to look through given how long you've been here though. Who knows if they can backdate the update (so to speak) that far?

[fatboy]

It is good that the OP has the honesty and moral fibre to return the money. I, on the other hand do not, and I could use 2 million won. I'll PM my bank account details.  ;)

Although it would be nice to keep, its definitely worth telling your boss about the mistake. I had been over paid once in the past and didn't say anything. A few months later they figured out their mistake and the amount was deducted from my next pay check. I think eventually they will figure out their accounting error.

[Morticae]

It has been a while now. If you haven't said something now, you probably never will.

So, what's the update?
