What remedies are available for illegal deductions?
Employees may be entitled to repayment of withheld wages, additional damages, and recovery of attorneys’ fees.
Can my employer retaliate if I complain about paycheck deductions?
No. Retaliation for asserting your rights under wage and hour laws is prohibited under federal and state laws.
What should I do if I think my paycheck has illegal deductions?
Keep detailed pay records, review your pay stubs carefully, and consult your state’s wage and hour laws.
Can my employer deduct money for broken equipment or mistakes?
In many states, no—especially if doing so reduces your pay below the minimum wage or if you have not given written authorization.
Are employers allowed to deduct money from my paycheck?
Yes, but only for lawful purposes, such as taxes, benefit contributions, or other deductions allowed under federal and state laws.
