What is the name of your state? CA
I own a trucking business in San Francisco. I had a verbal agreement with an employee regarding Nextel cell phone usage/activation. The agreement was that if she choose to activate her cell phone, it would be at her own expense. Well, she went on disability on May 11th and has NOT returned to work since then. She has been quite busy, filing sexual discrimination claims, workers comp, claims with the state commissioners office, EDD, etc. Anyhow, I deduced $500.- some odd dollars from her final paycheck for the cell phone usage, which might I add was all personal calls. Drivers have no need for a cell phone, only a radio. Was I allowed to deduct this amount from her paycheck because 1) there was a verbal agreement 2) this is NOT a company expense, rather a personal expense. I know this may not be the right category to post this in, but this was the closest place I could find. Your input/experience is greatly appreciated.
