It's their fault, legally I'm sure you don't have to pay it back.
You should fight that. I'm sure you're going to pay out the ass for a damn "typo".
Have you been at the company awhile? Maybe you should try to make the raise a reality.
Here you go OP http://www.ehow.com/info_12031628_can-employer-back-wages-paid.html#page=0
After the check is cashed it's your money, they gave it to to you. Their mistake.
The company for which I work accidentally paid an employee too much money for over a year. The employee knew about it and didn't report it. The company stopped paying the extra money, but the employee got to keep what had already been paid. Federal government can get back am over payment. I don't believe private companies can.
Salt, meet Wound. Insult, meet Injury. Too bad, OP. That seems unfair but you DO have a job even if you DON'T have a raise....

Why can't you negotiate to have your wages garnished $20 a week till the debt is paid. Its their mistake so you shouldn't have to pay it back in a lump sum.
I would have thought you wouldn't have to pay it back since it was their mistake not yours or they deduct some of it from your pay each week so you don't have to pay it all at once. Also since you technically notified your boss about the raise 2 months ago when it happened (even if it was just as a thankyou) shouldn't it fall down to it being the bosses fault since he would have got that email and should have been like why is this person getting a raise and followed it up. Either way it sucks OP.
