<prompt> Human: I quit my job a couple of weeks ago. I received my final paycheck today. As expected I saw the hours I worked and the pay out for my vacation time. What was surprising was a bonus that was twice the size of my regular monthly bonuses. I usually receive bonuses the first paycheck of the month which would be today but I quit before the month was over. It was a terrible month and my bonus if anything should have been 15 of what I received today. Can I spend this? Can the company demand this money back from me if they gave it to me by mistake? I just cant figure out why they gave me any bonus considering how stingy the company is.  <response>: Can I spend this?You can do lots of things.Id throw the excess into an online savings account for a few months. If they dont come after it, then invest it or pay down debt. Can the company demand this money back from me if they gave it to me by mistake?They can demand all they want. They might even be able to successfully sue you. I just cant figure out why they gave me any bonus considering how stingy the company is.Companies are made of humans. Humans make mistakes.
