    Well.....we kinda need to know exactly what the deduction is to tell you if it is legitimate. Pull up your paystub online, screenshot it, BLACK OUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, and post it here.

    I'm sure it's legitimate. We just got new onboards. Just sucks that I wasn't forewarned but I will tell you the exact title of the deduction when I get home. Thanks

    Now.....if the boss is charging you to use his outboard, then a boat rental fee would be legitimate.:rolleyes:

    Prepayment on your paycheck that you get at the pump or ATM will have a penalty. Western Express was delinquent with paying me in 2008. They advanced me $400 (2 grand due) and soaked me $50 for the advancement.
