I was working a second job on a part time basis to make some extra cash. The employer deducts $100 from your first check and holds it as a uniform deposit.
I managed to find an easier part time position that pays nearly double my old wage. I worked until my last scheduled day and then sent my manager a resignation email before she created the next months schedule. I then turned in all my equipment/uniforms to her.
Owner of the company sent me an email saying they are keeping the uniform deposit anyways because I didn’t give a proper 2 week notice.
I submitted a complaint with the state dept of labor. Investigator from the state called me today and was adamant that not only can an employer not keep the deposit, they should have never withheld any wages for use as deposit anyways. I’m hoping the DOL really sticks it to them. No telling how many others they’ve done this too.
