I am a college student at a major US university. I worked just a few hours a week for two months as a research assistant. After the date that my research ended, my boss accidentally clocked me in for an additional 8 hours (I proved it was him and not me). He is now emailing me telling me I have to return and work those 8 hours. (For clarity, the 8 hours of pay was recorded deposited to my checking account AFTER the date I had agreed to terminate my work)
It is not really that big a deal, but I am wondering if they can require me to do this? What is the legal situation, and can they legally give me a bad reference in the future if I refuse to cover them for their mistake?
