My employer notified us on January 3 that the company is no longer solvent. However, I was due to get a paycheck December 31, before they made that announcement. They are offering me to keep the work PC they provided me with and get no payment, or to give it back and accept a reduced paycheck.
Can they do that or are they trying to stick me with the PC? I contacted the Department of Labor a few days ago but have not heard back from them, so not sure if they can do anything. Any advice?
Edit: for clarity, I was doing full-time remote work in California and the company headquarters is in Tennessee. My paycheck was going to be $2700, the PC they are offering me is about $4000.
