What is the name of your state?OH
I am currently involved in a civil case against my former employer. The short story is that when I left the company, the employer continued to make deductions for my flexible spending account (so far, so good). I did not object as I wanted to continue applying for reimbursement.
The issue is that after my last paycheck (approximately three weeks after my last day of employment), the employer abruptly closed my account, and did it RETROACTIVE to my last employment date. This meant that any attempt to seek reimbursement after my termination date were denied. Since I was unable to collect (the majority of the deductions were for dependent care, a weekly cost), the unused funds eventually reverted back to my former employer.
I am arguing that he is acting in bad faith, but I am unable to find any state or federal laws being broken. Does anyone know of any legal arguement I can make?
