Add Comment Question: Can an employer take money off my paycheck without notice or authorization because they overpaid the week before Answer: Thank you for your question. Regarding any overpayments, if you agree that it was indeed an accidental overpayment, your employer can clawback the overpayment from any other amount it owes you.
