if you had asked for a cash advance at work for school, but you ended up getting courses for a christmas?
ames asked:
present from your sister, and you tell your boss that and you forgot to mention that before and you havent used the money and you give the money back, that should be fine right? since you were honest.
I don't know if this is an ethical question or a legal one.
If you honestly forgot to inform you boss that you did not need the cash advance anymore and you received it then you are being ethical and legal.
How do you receive "courses" for a Christmas gift? Don't you mean that you received the money to pay for the courses, or you sister paid for your courses as your Christmas gift?
Of course you can pay back the money since you no longer need it. Your boss doesn't need to know the reason, but it's always a good idea to be honest. Communication is very important in the workplace, and your honesty will be appreciated.
