Hi
I operate a personal chef company. We have contractor chefs working for us in multiple states. We told one chef in Pennsylvania that we no longer wanted to work with her. During our time together, we paid her extra to develop recipes each week and store them in a database for us. When we told her we didn't want to work with her anymore, she deleted the entire database. We paid her roughly $800 total to create the database. We owe her about $300 in wages from her last week. Can we withhold the $300 because of what she did?
