hi folks. to make a long story short my boyfriend got fired last week from his job. today he was supposed to receive his final paycheck which should’ve been around $700, and it was only 91 cents.
When he called his job to ask how that could be, they tried to justify it by saying that because he worked there less than six months that he had to pay them back for the training he received.
I don’t see how this is legal at all. They’re leaving a person without a job AND withholding a significant amount of money from him that he needs to survive.
If anyone knows more about how we can try to combat this please let me know. We need to pay our rent and eat and his employer is going to make that a challenge.
