What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Hello,
My husband quit his job on Sat 8/1. He was a non-exempt hourly employee who was guaranteed 40 hours pay/wk. On the week he quit he had one day of work left, but had already reached his 40 hours and already accrued some OT for that week.
On his final check the employer deducted for what they told him was a PTO overage.
I did not think that in the state of NJ employers were allowed to take that money unless an employee agreed that the money was owed to the company and agrees to pay it.
There was no discussion about my husband's final pay, they just deducted what they felt appropriate.
Is this allowed in NJ?
Thanks for your help!
