Can a drivers pay be withheld until the company gets paid for the load???

Contact the state labor board to get paid. Contact the IRS about his misclassification. I would not pay towards the damages ... do not know if your fiance signed an employment contract stating he was responcible for any damages. Find a new job, not working for a shyster trying to skirt the tax / insurance system

 

The longer a driver lets that type of thing go on the harder it is to get his last pay ck. after he finds a better job.

 

Why does your fiancee continue to work there? He's not being paid and is being abused because that's what he chooses.

 

He must enjoy it- he's also heading into Marriage!

 

He is not very smart, you should look elsewhere for a mate. Just saying.

 

You stated:"He lightly damaged a car...". So what are we discussing then? If driver damaged it then be the man be responsible for what you did. It is driver's responsibility to safely load unload vehicles. Or you think its his boss responsibility who can be 1,000+ mi away from there? I thing boss has a right to hold $. But personally me... It depends I had situations where I just split the cost of some damages/repairs with my drivers 50/50 only if its a GOOD and honest driver and I know it happens once in a long time accidently with him. Otherwise its on drivers. If its something serious and damage is huge then yes I have to claim it with my insurance but the driver will have to go and find another job. Interesting how some ppl wants to get paid but do not want to be responsible for anything.

 

Do you also share the business profits 50/50 with your drivers?

 

Of course but it has nothing to do with it. My point is you have to be responsibly of what you do.

 

Sorry for typo I was gonna say of course not obviously.
