CAN MY EMPLOYER TAKE MY PAY IF I GET A TRAFFIC TICKET?

That sounds like a load of BS.

 

I would tell them that if they are going to charge you for petty things like that, then I will start charging them for every minute I'm delayed on the job. I charge $100/minute.

 

Look I will make this simple, they can't legally take a dime from you.

I would find another job and if they take any money from you, go file a complaint with your state.

There is no excuse for these POS fleets to exist.

 

Say for example you went out on a date with a girl. She says that she really likes you a lot but she wants you to sign a contract stating that anytime you do something that irks her, you would pay her $50 and any argument, she would charge you $500.

So you think about it and wonder if it’s legal. I myself would be puzzled why you would even contemplate legalities. Mr Ridgeline answered your question, BTW.

 

They can legally deduct your bonus pay, but not your straight pay. But good luck with that. Just quit.

 

Document everything and when you get back to yard clean your stuff out of truck, turn it in and get a paper signed it was cleaned right then go see a lawyer and labor board. They have advocates you can use, but if you have to worry about that crap get out.

 

That's flat BS.

I wonder if this is some kind of secret trend growing like weeds under the drivers across the USA. They roll over and take the theft of their pay without complaint or resistance.

I don't see how this is legal. Take it to the Labor Board. Find some other employer.

 

It is the reason the quality of the workforce has slipped, The ones who have been at it for decades will not put up with that and have moved on. Sure it is in our blood but the bs is not.
