You should do the job twice, it's only fair.

The fact that you're even asking is a little concerning, whether the amount in question is $5 or $500,000.

You're contemplating risking your client relationship and all future credibility with anyone else; over $2500?
(Closer to $1250 after taxes. Although if you decided to keep the check, you might as well go full criminal.)
- $2500 is $1250 after tax?abettertomorrow
- hyperbole probably for him.randommail
- Uhmmm what? 30% of $2500 is ~$750. Do the math jack.chilamont

What would Brett Bash do?
- I'm guessing he's never had a paying client before.betelgeuse
- I reckon he'd pull the same sort of dishonest, bone-headed move the OP seems to want to pull.Continuity
- He has. The few things in his portfolio which were awful were his work that he'd been paid to do.orrinward
- The ShihTzu parlour thing was his and the woman paid him.orrinward

DON'T BE STUPID! you have to tell them. But let them know that you can credit it towards the invoice that is past due. Have some fucking professionalism, man!

If the checks they sent are true duplicates, meaning that they even reference the same invoice number, then just applying it to the other job outstanding will not match up in their accounting system at their end. You'll still get a call at month or year end and you'll still look bad.
Just frickin' call them/email them, tell them what happened and see what they want to do.

- If they are an incorporated company, they'll have to have their year end done by a third party, and it will be found.ETM
