Due to a payroll processing error, a bus monitor in Nashville, TN, quit her job yet still received a paycheck for an additional eight weeks.

When asked how it could happen, a spokeswoman for the school district simply said, “It didn’t get communicated to the person in payroll.”

Eventually, someone noticed the error, MSNBC reports. No word on how much money was paid, or if the district will try to recover it.

The worst part: School officials say the district may need to cut up to $15 million from next year’s budget. So, like at most employers these days, every penny counts.

This news comes less than a week after it was a reported a bus driver in the district was caught stealing more than $9,000 worth of gas for her personal car.

Mistakes in payroll happen. And a case in Oklahoma shows just how big those mistakes can be.

Jo Harris is an employee with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. She was supposed to get a longevity pay bonus of $850.

However, when the paycheck was cut, it was for $850,000.

The state realized its mistake and asked Harris to cut them a personal check for 850 Gs if the amount hit her account.

But that wasn’t necessary. The state cancelled the check before it was deposited and reissued her one with the proper amount.

Harris says co-workers tease her about the bonus mistake, according to the newspaper, The Oklahoman.

“They want to know if they can slip out of the country with me,” Harris said. “I tell them, ‘Yeah, me and my cocker spaniel, Brandon, could go on a nice cruise with that money.’”
