Can an employer hold expenses after I quit?
|
I quit my job recently, and the company still owes me car expenses (mileage) that I put on my car for the previous month. They said they will pay me once I return all the company owned equipment (computer, printer, etc.).
While I will be returing these items and have no issues, I don't see how these two issues are related? Does anyone have any info or laws I can reference? ** I am in California, company is in Florida.
Additional Details
My job was a sales job, where I needed to drive long distances daily. I work and live in California, and the company is based in Florida...
The thing is, the car expenses were already incurred. I have a leased car, and I put several thousand miles last month, so the company owes me a small month car allowance + a per mile amount. Now they want their equipment back BEFORE they pay me. he expenses are separate from salary (which they haven't paid me either yet...I quit Sunday night, and it's already beyond 72 hours isn't it?

legally no they can't with hold any money owed to you for a reasonable time frame say not past what should have been your next pay day . Companies like too use your last paycheck or salary bonus owed too you as collateral for any things you may still have from the company such as credit cards office equipment etc. But that's not legal because anything you may have lost or refuse to return to them is an entirely different matter . you worked for your pay or you added your own money for work that you expect to be reimburse promptly you should get back . and what ever you may still have of there's they need to file a separate compliant and take it to court or for however fare they wish to pursue it. |
