Pfizer asks hourly staffers to return overpayments in aftermath of vendor's cyberattack: reports

A little extra cash is always a welcome surprise—until your employer asks you to pay it back, that is.

In December, a ransomware attack struck Ultimate Kronos Group, a vendor that Pfizer uses to track work time and pay out hourly staffers, WWMT reported earlier this week. Employees were under- and overpaid as a result, according to a letter from the company obtained by the CBS/CW-affiliated news outlet.

Now, the drug behemoth is repaying those who were shortchanged—but it’s also asking overpaid staffers to return their surplus cash.
