Ha!!!

Yeah, maybe so, after he retired as an architect at Van de Lay Industries.

Whatever happened to the Penske file?

He never filled out a timesheet so it wasn't fraud, and they sent him the money so I say it wasn't theft and he should be able to keep the pay.

Severance is probably out the the question.

Hee-Larious!!!

Umm, so how did he do in the 90 probationary review? Or any of the other yearly reviews in 6+ years???

Are they still accepting applications?

Remember the PSAs by the post office back in the 80s? Where it said you were allowed to keep anything you got in the mail if it was something you did not order?(It was a practice of magazine sellers in particular to send people an issue or two of a subscription unsolicited and then demand payment.)

Would unsolicited checks apply?

checks are a contract by law and by endorsing a check you are agreeing to a contract .. thus a check can be a rider ...to a contract of further magnitude

This is BS. No way he should get jail time. Avaya should sue there software co or whomever made the clerical error for the money back.

Ah, that makes sense...so by signing a check, you are declaring that you have fulfilled or are going to fulfill whatever it is you needed to in order to get that check, whether it was a service, product or labor.

[Eureka Boneheads]

They gave him the checks, he cashed them, end of story. Innocent.

The company's finance company should be reamed.

Indeed.

[Smar Tass]

That's alright - it's an Illinois thing.

For instance, most people on the City of Chicago and Cook County's payrolls never worked there either.

Hopefully I would not do that but I have been a bar tender, had too many and goofed. My fault.
