Got paid to much

These last two pay periods I have been over paid on my pay check. It is only 2.5 hours on one check and 4 hours on this check so it is not a huge amount but my question is......in California is the company finds out they have over paid thier employees can they make they employees pay the money back? I dony care either way as I am not that straped for cash but just curious is all. My company has hired temps. lately to cut cost in the office and thats where I think the problem is. No I have not asked my fellow employees if this has happened to them cause i dont want to be "That Guy" who ruins it for everyone.

Thanks for your time

while I can not answer for California, I would say that if you are overpaid, the honest thing to do would be to bring it to your supervisors attention, (and thank them for the extra money), and let the management decide how to correct the mistake
