Getting my tool box back

[berry102]

What is the name of your state? IL My problem is that I recently quit my job to start a new job and my old employer has my tool box. I have never ordered anything thru him for my tool box, but as part of a advertisment sponser I did use his contacts to recieve items for my vehicle to promote his bussines. Can he hold my tools and tool box saying that I owe him for the work that was done to my truck? Any advice would be helpfull. thank you

Berry, if he didn't pay out any funds and unless there was any signed agreement stating he had part ownership,then no, he can't hold the tools.

This sounds like it would be best handled by the local police since he has property of yours he's refusing to turn over.

thank you

thank you I thought that but was unsure. Can he hold my last paycheck?

No, he can't. You complain to the state DOL about that.

 

[Sockeye]

Nope, he shoud have that coming to you by the regularly scheduled pay date, that is the law in your state. You can find that here.

Thank you all went well

Thank you very much. I printed out the information that you gave me and took it to him today and was able to pick up my personal effects and final pay check with no problems.
Again Thank you

Excellant! Good job handling this yourself, so much simpler (and quicker) that way.
