I worked as a Cadet for Canada Steamship lines over the summer. I didn't make a lot. But anyway, a month after leaving I just got payed 400$. My vacation pay is at 180$. They usually pay me every month,but they don't owe me anything else anymore.

So just today I got a 400$ paycheck and I think they made a mistake. Should I call them and ask?

If it was direct deposited, don't spend the money, because they can go in and reverse it if it was a mistake.

be a good man and go tell them they made a mistake. maybe you'll get a reward for bringing it to their attention.

My boss did this to me once. He overpayed me by 200$, so I told him.

He then told me that "You passed the test".

i doubt they will give you a reward. they will probably just be like thanks, and take away the money.
