Question
Hello, I wanted to ask the rabbi: I worked at a certain place for one day, and the employer deposited an amount larger than a day's work into my account. As a result, a grant that was supposed to come from the national insurance did not come because they saw a large amount was deposited into my account. The question is whether I need to return the money or not.
Answer
Hello,
I understand that the question is whether the employer should compensate for the damage caused by the larger deposit.
It is difficult to obligate the employer.
