Have you reported this to your manager each time? If you have, then the first time could have been an honest mistake. The 2nd - 3rd time is weird. This has happened to my wife once each but it was corrected before the next pay period. They just did not pay us as much on the 2nd pay period because they overpaid on the first. The gross pay was the only thing affected.

I'd get your HR/payroll and supervisor in on this to make sure everyone understands and that you want to put a stop to this.

I working the accounting dept but I don't go near payroll. Direct supervisor is the controller, my boss is the CFO. There is one other person here who does payroll, and I don't know what she actually does for that and if there is a distinction for how it's done between the commissioned positions and the salaried folk. My supervisor is the one who pointed the overpayment out this time (quietly, the other two times more people had the same thing happen to them). I'm trying to rope the execs in for this problem because I don't understand how my salary numbers physically changed in our systems.

It's not the end of the world that they're going to recoup the overpayment but, obviously, it shouldn't happen in the first/third place.

Yea first time can be chalked up as a simple human error. Something weird for it happening 3 times. I would just make sure you contact every one and keep records of your attempts to fix the situation. That's annoying but you are right, not the end of the world.
