I live and work in California. I work for the same company that my mother has for the past 13 years, I myself have been there for only 3 years, but because of this I have a friendly relationship with the owners inside and outside of the office walls.
Recently I saw a great deal on a car and couldn't afford the asking price so I asked the owner of my company if I could take out a loan and she said that that the company wasn't in the situation to do so, but SHE will do it for me. So I received a personal loan from her and we agreed on payment time and amount. I have fallen short a couple times on payment and now she sent me an email that said if I don't abide by the original agreement she will be forced to remove the amount from my paycheck and terminate my employment. Can she do this because from what I understand it was a personal loan and had nothing to do with work. Please let me know if this is something worth fighting over if something does happen.
Thank You
