Kroger Orders Employees to Repay Some Emergency Pay, Then Changes Its Mind
Following an accounting error that sent some employees extra money above what they were supposed to receive as part of its "Emergency Pay" program, Kroger (NYSE: KR) demanded return of the funds. Kroger's payroll department sent out letters to the employees who had received the accidental overpayment. One of the workers went to Twitter to post the letter, which in that specific case ordered the employee to return $461.60.
