The answer

Your work in the medical center for a known monthly wage is a form of ijara (leasing/hiring), and an employee is only entitled to what was agreed upon in the contract, for Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, fulfill [your] contracts," and according to the : "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Therefore, you must return the money you took from the center in excess of your salary. If you do not know the exact amount, act according to your best judgment, and you must repent to Allah.
