It’s legal in MA. I was paid double once and they took it back. I looked into it and sure enough, it’s totally legal as long as it’s within a certain timeframe.
I should clarify that it was legal in MD when they did it (this may no longer be the case). I had to talk to the company lawyer for guidance when it happened since I was part of the HR team at the time.
What they can do and what is legal aren’t always the same.
