My pay
Just started a new job at at a bar in the town I live.

The lovely bosses have started me off on pay, equal to the supervisor and greater than all the other barmen who are far more experienced and trained than me.

When asked what I was getting paid, I proceded to lie through my teeth.

Hope they don't see my payslip...

Better be careful
If (when?) they find out, then you may be liable to repay the difference.

I know it's a lovely thought to know that someone else has made a mistake, and you're the innocent beneficiary - but you should read up on the law.

I know that in my workplace, we have had situations where the department has demanded repayment of salaries - citing laws which state that they're entitled to do so.

If I were you, I'd put the extra money in a savings account, just in case. Don't spend it. Then if you never get found out by the time you finish that job, you should get away with it - with interest.. and if they do discover the mistake and demand repayment, then at least you will have the money ready without suddenly being in debt. And you'll be able to keep the interest.

Careful
I once got in trouble because my boss paid me more than everyone else...and when someone asked me what I was getting paid, I told them the TRUTH. I was given a proper lecture for not lying.
