This is likely state dependent. I've seen them pull back funds from people in MD. That was some years ago now though so that may not still be possible there.
What they can do and what is legal aren't always the same.
It's legal in MA. I was paid double once and they took it back. I looked into it and sure enough, it's totally legal as long as it's within a certain timeframe.
I should clarify that it was legal in MD when they did it (this may no longer be the case). I had to talk to the company lawyer for guidance when it happened since I was part of the HR team at the time.
Yep, they did this to me and my coworkers in WV. But the NLRB stated since we were overpaid for bonuses, not wages, the company had the right to dock the pay slowly (they did it in 2 biweekly paychecks, notso slow)
