Can the company that I work for take money back out of my personal account?

A coworker of mine has direct deposit for her bi-weekly paycheck into her personal checking account. At some point in time, the company has made some sort of a mistake with the amount and given her too much money on a paycheck and had to get the money back from her. On two occasions, they have gone directly to the account and withdrawn the money from her account without her authorization. Does anyone know if this is legal?|||I dont believe that is legal. Its possible to do because they have all the banking info but i dont think its legal. I would talk to the bank and the company about this. They should ask the bank why they are letting this happen and they should ask the company to simply tell her if they made a mistake. Then she can give the money back. Also she she talk to HR about it. and not whoever is in charge of the payroll. Maybe someone shouldn't have the job that they have if they keep making this mistake. Maybe someone is stealing money....|||It is legal for the company to correct the mistake. Even though on her end, it seems like the company is going into her checking account to withdraw the money, all they did was go into the website where they process payroll and make the corrections. Therefore, the overage will automatically be deducted from her account.
