Hello Personal Finance,
I posted a few months ago about having been given a paycheck for hours I did not work and after speaking with the payroll people it was agreed that I would send in a check to them and they would sort everything out. Now for a little context, I worked for an absurdly rich individual who has their own family office for expenses and a payroll service that I was paid through for work I did over the summer. As I said before, I got a paycheck from them for just over a thousand dollars (literally pennies for my boss but big money for me as a college student) and I gave the office a check for the amount back in September. After requesting that they cash it so it is in their control instead of staying in my register they have left it open for the entire fall.
If they don't cash it by 12/31, what will happen? Will I be recorded as having made the extra thousand and taxed on it? Is it mine in any arguable way? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
I have made many requests for it to be cashed and to ask what the status is and the only information I have gotten is that the payroll people are having a hard time changing their books about me being paid or something to that effect.
