    I had an accident with a boxtruck. The clearance was13" and truck slightly higher.
    The company decided that they take 70% from every paycheck. I tried to negotiate for a lesser deduction so that I can pay my bills but to no avail. Now I'm going through hardship because I'm getting little money.
    Advice please

    I would just quit and go elsewhere... Are you 1099 or an employee? What was the deductible? What state are you in?

    If 30% is better than min. wage, you should be sure to only pay the ded. of your co insur. if your co, collected on insur. and is getting more than the ded. from you, co. maybe 1099 + con/men women?

    Is the boss splitting profits with you also if I have to take some of the risk of doing business then I also want some of the reward.
