Is it legal for your employer to take money out of your check if you did not do you job correctly?
My boss pulled $350 from my last paycheck for "Car Repair" I did sign a paper allowing pay removal for monies owed.Is this legal?
I am a transmission rebuilder,any mistakes done while employed with him cost me nothing,however, this charge was on my final paycheck.Nor have any employees still employed there are charged for mistakes/accidents.
Sorry, I work in Pa.
If this is legal do I have the right to an itemized list of parts and to take possession of the old parts?
regardless of what you signed this practice is illegal in Pennsylvania this is from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry

What Can Be Deducted From My Paycheck?
If you have borrowed money from a third party, you can give the employer written permission to deduct payments from your earnings. If your employer has loaned you funds, it can deduct the amount from your earnings as long as you have given written authorization. Of course, normal tax deductions must be made. You must give written authorization to your employer to make such non-tax related deductions. It is not valid to sign a "blanket" authorization at the time of hire to cover any future deductions. Further, as a rule, deductions cannot reduce your gross pay below minimum wage, and the deductions must be for the employee's benefit.
contact the Department of Labor & Industry and file a wage dispute immediately.
