My civilian job over paid me the percentage of the differential pay that was owed to me while on Military orders. They are requesting it back now. They are wanting to go back 3 years for paycheck pay. They are refiguring my PTO and want to charge me for PTO days that I took those years that they now say I did not accrue and want to charge me those days. As I am leaving soon for deployment, the only way to pay back those days is to take it from my paycheck, rather then taking it from future days I would accrue next year. I have asked if they will correct my W2's to reflect this, and if we can arrange a payment plan. They are being REAL direct and basicly telling me that they have not worked out the details yet. But I will adhere to what they tell me.
My question: can they do this being it's their error? Can they demand a dollar amount per pay check and put my family in financial turmoil? Do they have to correct my prior W2's to reflect the correct amount which will put me in a lower tax bracket? This doesn't seem fair nor legal.
