Can a previous employer collect an overpayment of vacation hours 6 months after leaving the company? 6

Jenni’lynn asked:


My husband and I took a 3 week vacation this past summer. Prior to leaving on our trip he sent in his letter of resignation, upon our return he would be accepting another job at a different company. His last paycheck from his previous employer was basically ALL his vacation pay…
So, NOW, 6 months later he just received an email informing him that they, by mistake, made an overpayment of vacation hours and they are asking us to repay a fairly large sum of money. Do they have any legal recourse?
