Hello, I'm currently employed with a pet sitting company in Texas. As things are, I'm looking to leave the job since some red flags have been raised and I cannot continue to ignore them, also some personal differences with management solidified my decision. Per the handbook I signed upon my hiring, it states that the company can withhold some of my wages if my leaving ends up costing the company money.
For example, if I'm scheduled but then quit and they have no one to cover for my shift and they have to cancel the service and refund the client, then I would be charged for the cancellation and any money lost to the company.
My question is if that is true? Can they really charge me and deduct my wages? I have the handbook which states this if anyone wants to see. It does have the company name so not sure if I can post it publicly on here. Thanks
