All this topic is about is getting educated on employee rights and trying to have a healthy debate, plain and simple. Its not about doing what "Right" as some of you feel strongly about this and I understand it. I have no idea what other guys in my company get paid and I really dont care as it is none of my business. 85% of a conversation is audio and visual ques and alot of that is lost thru the internet and I feel this has gotten off topic a bit.

I did go to the HR lady this morning with my new found knowledge and beat some bushes for a bit. She said I was correct once a company in California pays an employee they can not just go take the money back via payroll deduction. It has to be a writen agreement and even at that it is shakey. We never talked about how much I was over paid but she said just keep it no matter what it is, as the effort to audit all this would cost more.

Awhile ago my company tried to discipline me for going outside the organization to retrieve information from this website. I made it perfectly clear that I had not violated any company rules and there are not any governing rules on discussing that situation. My name and location are not an accurate description of me due to that matter.
