<prompt> Human: I am a state employee in NC. Used to work for a university, then was unemployed, now work for a school district. Unbeknownst to me, the university overpaid me and they want the money back plus tax!!. Somehow or other, they found out that I am once again a state employee and are saying if I dont pay back or make arrangements by a certain date soon, they will contact my current employer, whereupon appropriate action will be taken. Do I have any rightsoptions of which I may be unaware? Or am I just screwed?  <response>: You arent screwed. You WERE overpaid. They can take any legal recourse they would like to recover their money.Best to get in touch with them and work out a payment plan before your wages wind up being garnished.
