paycheck deductions

My husband works 80 hours a week for a small trucking company. When he received his last check they deducted almost 400.00 for a tire that blew.Do we have any rights when it comes to how and when they can take whatever deductions they want?

Check through all his employment papers to see if he "agreed" to deductions for equipment replacement, breakage, reimbursement for accidents, etc., where he was at fault, when he started working there. If he did not do so in writing, then he should tell the company that he wants that money back because what they did was illegal. They are only allowed to deduct taxes, authorized union dues, court ordered garnishments, authorized insurance payments, etc. The word is "authorized." If he doesn't get this money back, then you should contact your State's wage & hour division and file a complaint.

I didn't see any downside in 7 years. We never paid over 20% in income tax. We were never subject to IR35 because we arranged our company affairs to ensure we never were. It's true, a lot of contractors just treat it as if it were a job, but we treated it as a business.
