overpayment of an ex employee

[ozzy1365]

If a company terminates an employee and fails to inform the payroll dept., which in turn continues to pay the employee 4 checks, is that person legally bound to return the money??

It would seem to me that the person would be legally obligated to return the money which he knew he was not entitled to have.
