What I hate in all this AI stuff is that it takes the bullshit asymmetry principle to an extreme. The amount of time I'm fighting bullshit that AI is spewing is amazing now.

I have a story about this! Back in 2015, I was in charge of HR and we were giving a raise to an IT person. They were going from $31.5k/year to $45k/year. Their per pay period was going from $1,213.85/pp to $1,730.77/pp. But, the HR clerk at the time goofed it .....

Did they pay taxes on this money? Will they get that back? Only giving them 30 days to repay is totally unreasonable. fox8.com/news/local-c...

I remember asking if the payroll company can only pull back what they put in, they said "No" they can request any amount. Not sure if the rules have changed since 2015, but it was an eye opening experience. We also still laugh with the employee about that paycheck as they are still here.

So if you are really paranoid about your company being evil when you are about to leave the company, make sure that your direct deposit account is empty, so they can't try to pull back your last paycheck or anything like that.

and figured it out Thursday morning. The employee also figured it out Thursday morning because they saw the pending transaction and they reached out. We talked to our payroll company about how to reverse it and that's when I learned something fun, that the payroll company could just take it back.

They explained that when the employee signed up for direct deposit, it opened a two way street. They said it would be no problem for them to just take the money back from the employee and then we were going to cut them a check for the appropriate amount. And that happened. In about three hours.

They put the $1,730.77 as their hourly rate, not pay period rate. So on the next pay check, it gave the employee $138,461.60 gross wages. The amount of taxes that it took out was breath taking, but I don't have those details anymore, I believe what actually hit the bank account was going to be 60k

@conmoot.com

At the time, we submitted the payroll file on Wednesday, it would take out of our bank on Thursday and hit employee banks, sometimes Thursday but definitely by Friday. After it was submitted, when the HR manager was reviewing the bank draw, they noticed the bank draw was 60k higher than normal...

I was worried it would be harder to prosecute them under CFAA to meet the intentional standard when they hit private computers. Now they are admitting to hitting government ones that's just knowingly standard. Jail them.
