A woman working for Stamford Public Schools in Stamford, Connecticut is under fire after being overpaid $54,000 and refusing to return the money. At the time, the woman was working as a substitute teacher with an hourly rate of $105. During the pay period of Oct. 31, 2022 and Nov. 13, 2022, police say the substitute worked two days and was mistakenly paid $27,300 per day by the City of Stamford Payroll department, which, after taxes, totaled $27,111.03.
The teacher and the school district came up with a plan for the money to be returned, but on that day, the woman never showed. Authorities say the results found the balance of the account at $19,863.89 on Feb. 8, which police immediately seized. The woman was charged with larceny in the first degree.
Is she a jerk for not returning the money? The conversation lives on Facebook!
