Bryce I feel that many that posted are over looking something I was trying to get across in my post. IF your girl friend's former employer feels insulted/slighted by how the $400 was rejected she will not be backing down from this. The possible fall out could be WAY more costly and time consuming to your girl friend than the $400.
I hate to say it but in today's world $400 is not much. The possible risk of this turning into some thing way worse and much more costly is not worth the $400 to me. I have found out that being right is costly and hard to prove at times in today's court systems.
An example: My youngest son and his wife went to a Christmas party, two years ago. He went to the bathroom. When he came back into the room some fellows has started fighting. He was walking across the dance floor to get his wife and go home. The fellows fighting pushed my son and several others into the band's equipment. Some high dollar stuff got damaged. The entire thing was on video tape too. The fellows fighting got hauled off by the police. About a month later he gets a court notice that the fellows that where fighting and the guys the fighters pushed into the band equipment, where all getting sued for the damage to the bands equipment and their lost wages from not having use of the equipment. The total of these two things was over $35K. He though he would be in the clear since he had not done anything. Wrong!!! The darn thing went to full trial. After the first appearance and when his part of the suit was not dropped I made him get his own lawyer. The retainer was $2500 for the cheapest lawyer that would take the case. The highest was $5000. It ended up costing my son right at $2500 to get his part of this dropped. If he had lost he would have been on the hook for over $6-7K if they split it equally.
So to the guys on here telling you to not doing anything that your girl friend does not owe her former employer anything. Well they maybe correct but they could be terribly wrong too. your girl friend was paid in cash/check, not a payroll check I bet. So she has zero proof that she was working for them as an employee. If the horse lady has money and is as crazy as many of the ones I have seen, they can get darn vindictive if they feel insulted. I think this is what is going on here. Your girl friend was hurt so the lady paid her for the weeks she missed work. That actually was a good thing for her to do. Now your girlfriend felt guilty for being paid the money. It seems that how she handled it with the horse lady and her missing work POed the horse lady. Horse lady is now asking for the money back. I will just about bet she is not going to drop it. Also the fellows saying that the horse owner is in hot water over unreported wages more than likely are wrong too. Cash transaction and not large sums of money. So your girl friend really can not count on that being a defense against her former employer.
I just wanted you/your girl friend to think about how this could turn ugly real fast. Your girl friend's life could be made hellish real easy if the horse owner wants to. All she would have to do is say that your girl friend stole the money while visiting there. Heck even damaged something that valuable while she was there. Do I think that these charges would ever stick??? NO and HECK no BUT it could easily cost your girl friend a lot of money/time/aggravation to PROVE she was innocent. I just know that a vindictive woman with money, is not someone I would want stirring up trouble around me.
So maybe this will all go away. I just would sleep better at night knowing it was all over for sure. Just paying the $400 back makes it over.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
