Question

if a business gets audited and finds that they overpaid their employees for a certain amount of time, do the employees have to pay them back?

Answer

You should consult a business attorney if you are the business. This is not as easy as it sounds. In some cases the money cannot be returned. Unfortunately, without knowing more, it is impossible to tell how this situation would be resolved.
