I will have no issue paying them back the money owed but for me its more the principle of the matter and knowing my law as an employee. If an employee wants to pay the money back they are only resposible for thier part and do not have to pay taxes back on that money. That information I posted was refered to me by a friend who has a degree in business law in California. She also told me that a comany has only one pay period to recoop the money then after that they are out of luck.
