Whenever any person whose salary or wage is paid out of the treasury of the City and County has been paid an amount in excess of that which such person was entitled to have received, such person shall, upon the demand of the Controller, pay back into the treasury such excess salary or wage.
In the event the repayment of such excess salary or wage in one payment would cause undue hardship on such person, the Controller may, with the concurrence of the City Attorney, permit the repayment to be made in equal monthly or biweekly installments.
In the event of termination of service of such person before full repayment has been made, such person shall not be paid any of his or her retirement accumulations or credits, until repayment has been made in full.
The City Attorney is hereby authorized and directed to take such action as may be necessary to effect full recovery of any unpaid amount.
