A friend of mine was over paid two years ago (couple of grand), I assume a mix up due to change of hours / returning from maternity leave? Anyway, she informed HR / Payroll straight away and received confirmation that they were looking into it.

Two years on and she still hasn't heard anything.

Whats the best course of action that might mean she can legally keep the money! Or will this never happen?

I wasn't after a moral confirmation, I was after a legal one.

However, I can confirm that we are talking about a massive organization, not a small / med business which will miss the money (hence once been told, they still don't know its gone).

I have no problems with the morals though, their mistake, they were told of their mistake but still did nothing to rectify it

What I was hoping for was some legal time line, i.e after 2, 3, 4 years? The money becomes my friends.
