Overpayment

We have a bereavement policy that pays an employee for three days of regular straight time pay. Our payroll coordinator just brought to my attention that in the past two years she has made a mistake on several 2nd shift ee's bereavement pay and included shift differential in the 30 hours of pay. This amounts to an average of about 11 dollars per ee and it has occurred five times. She is asking if we should make an adjustment on the next paycheck and recoup for her mistake. My initial answer was no, we made the mistake and should not deduct this amount from the next check but now I am wondering if we will be establishing a new precedence if we do not deduct this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
