What dilemma? --The Amoral Guy :-D On the serious side, once my former company mistakly paid me (and several other emplyees) two times the monthly salary. Then they *kindly* asked us for the money back. :)

Why is it a moral dilemma? I'd not even hesitate or double think about it. In this case, it is very easy to discover the mistake, I have come across many that are very hard to find out the mistake, and returned them to their rightful owners. Long time back, I use to work at fast food restaurant. On one of my pay check, I was over paid by some hours I did not work. I alerted a lower manager and she told me to keep it quite. I informed her I can't and went to the payroll to inform them about the mistake.

If the amount of money involved makes a difference then ethics were never involved and were just a convenient excuse at parties.

I know I would hold it for at least a couple of days to get some interest from it in a savings-account... And meanwhile just wait to see if my employer notices and only then take action... unless they wait too long... then I might become jumpy and contact them myself...
Nah... What's up, Doc? CCC's solved : 1 If a bus station is where a bus stops, and a train station is where a train stops, why do I have a work station on my desk?
Only if interest rates were reasonable.

You would get caught pretty quickly so unless you had a quick escape plan to a different country I would avoid that.

It's interesting. I asked my staff if they would, and they said no (I hope they were joking), so I thought I'd see how prevalent this attitude is. It seems you are all more honest (or talk a better game) than my team.:~

Absolutely yes, I would return the money.
Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

I'd be monitoring the account closely for a few months, hoping to get further payments. Meanwhile I wouldn't spend a penny over my normal salary. If a few months of pay like that arrived, then I'd be long gone. If not, or if discovered, plausible deniability. ;P Sadly, I think I would done the same as the man in the article. :^) //L

I saw a story where a caterer was paid $29,000+ dollars on a bill for $29, they considered the extra a 'tip' and promptly spent it. The institution which paid the erroneous amount sued said caterer and won, the caterer will be making payments to the institution for the next 28 years.

That was much better than I thought. I am more used to 0.025% that I now get on the money market account I have with my stock account and my checking with interest is not much different.
