Update! On April 4th we went to court and our case was heard by a referee. Unfortunately for us, it turned out my husband had signed an agreement that if he did not complete a certain term of employment that he would then be responsible to pay for the classes; however, the amount the company...

Yes, Zigner is correct. The pay rate was reduced by approximately $30/hr, OT rate reduced by approximately $45/hour, which resulted in a $1700+ underpayment. We don't actually know the exact rate my husband should have been paid. We do have the original offer letter, which was for an...

Received a detailed invoice from my husband's former employer for the trainings that they've already deducted from his final paycheck. Total is $573.95. Wasn't even marked 'paid'.

Hi everyone. My husband was not paid out any PTO, but the handbook does say that you forfeit it at termination of employment. Wasn’t sure if that’s legal or not, but the bigger issue is the over $1700 gross pay deduction they made. We did ask for a cost breakdown for the trainings as well as a...

I just read on the ADP site 'Your payroll information belongs to your former employer and ADP is not able to provide you with this information without their direction.' But I'm hoping that he's still entitled to these records. Ugh.

Hello! I have an update. My husband's prior company removed his access to ADP, which is where he would access his paystubs and W2, so when he got paid last Friday he had to ask them to mail a stub to our home. The paystub arrived yesterday and instead of directly deducting the expenses they...

Payday is not until next Friday, but I will let you know how it goes!

@Zigner - Correct! This did just happen a week ago to another former employee, so we were merely trying to get our 'ducks in a row'. When the other employee resigned they took his certification IDs. They did the same to my husband (to 'make copies'), so it seems they are on the same track. The...

Thank you, Quincy. We've read the Handbook front to back and there is no mention of classes or certifications or repayment thereof. It is a hole they should close, but they have not to date. I work in HR, so I knew to look for these things. I just don't know what the recourse is if these...

He worked for this company for about 9 months. Yes, he was paid regular wages while taking these courses. Some of the coursework was done during regular business hours, some in the evenings or weekends (particularly the OSHA 30). The OSHA 30 was required for his employment, the MTA, LIRR, and...

What is the name of your state? Hello. I am in NJ. My husband recently resigned from his position. During his time at this job he received several certifications, including OSHA 30, and various LIRR/MTA certifications. The company paid for these classes, my husband attended and earned the...

Thanks, everyone. Do I need a lawyer for SCC? If I were to win, how is the judgement enforced?

I also thought about the possibility of going to the gym to pick up my merchandise and if she refuses to give me these things I've paid for, call the cops. Thoughts?

What is the name of your state? NJ My daughter was on an All-Star cheer team and left the team after 5 months. We signed a contract that included a code of conduct and, of course, a 'no refunds' clause. I paid for the 11-month program in full up front in a lump sum. Over the course of the 5...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ Hello. My husband and I purchased our first home back in November of 2014. A couple of months ago an inspector for the town came by with the Deed and pointed out to us that the Deed is in my name only. The mortgage is in my name only, but I...
