In 2022 I started a temporary job that offered a flat rate with no benefits of any kind. This job lasted 8 months. I found out after this that the company was making contributions to a 401K account in my name. I believe it was some type of default percentage of what I was making, but wasn't a match since I never made contributions to it. I don't believe it was on any of my pay stubs, I comb through those fairly closely.
Anyways, I kept my mouth shut and just left the account alone. It has been 8 months since I left that job and they finally took the money back, probably noticed the error. My question is, can they just take the money out like that without offering an explanation of some type? I tried to look at the present and past statements but they are blocked for me to see them. I could try calling but I suspect they will have some type of generic response and I already know it was an error. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar thing happen to them or if I am missing anything in regards to this.
