Is it legal.........? |
for an employer to hold a paycheck "hostage" until an employee fills out a paper for a missed punch or a missed shift due to illness? In the UK this would be firmly against all aspects of employment law. I doubt if it's legal in the US either. Firstly, you should have a contract of employment which lays out your rights (and those of your employer) in the event of your being unfit for work; you may be subject to a time limit for sick leave or a number of occurrences. In any event, breach of such protocols leaves you at the mercy of a disciplinary code which in the main does not render you subject to forfeit or withholding of pay. Talk to a solicitor (Lawyer) at once - especially one who deals in employment law. Good luck. no it is not For a very short period they could linger on gettng the check out to you but why not just fill out the paperwork they need you too? No it isn't. Laws vary by state, but this one sounds like a no-brainer - NO. Definitely not.. Nope. Kick him in the crotch.... |
