§ 16393 Erroneous Payroll Fund Refunds

• •If the state accidentally gets extra money in its payroll fund, it has to give it back.
• •The Controller is the person who makes sure the money is returned.
• •This rule has been around since 1949.

Imagine your boss accidentally puts an extra $100 in your paycheck.

Just like your boss would take back the extra $100, the state has to return any extra money it gets by mistake.
