What is the name of your state? Texas

I was notifed that over the past 18 months I have been receiving an overpayment per diem on every paycheck. I never looked at my paystubs until they notified me. I have acknowleged the error and have agreed to pay back the money ($30,000) without question. It is their money and I have no problem with that.

The issue is that I think I may get fired for "gross misconduct" and this does not make sense to me. It was not my error and I never knew of it until they notified me. Can they legally fire me for this? :mad:

hogwald, I'm not trying to pass judgement. I'm only asking out of curiosity. How could you not notice $30,000?
