Is my boyfriend's employer allowed to hold money?

My boyfriend is a plumber, who does strictly new homes, he started as an hourly and now his employer is changing to piecework. However, the employer wants to hold money from his pay in case something happens to the job. My question is first, is this leagal?, Is it right, and is it a common practice?

If the job is completed satisfactorily the employer cannot hold any money. I would see a lawyer. If the job is not completed it is common to hold back 10% until the job is finished.


regerugged
No, no and no. I would not trust the employer. He should look for another job if he is not paid by the hour and on time.

It doesn't sound legal, but I've never worked for a contractor. I would consult with a lawyer. Some of them answer questions for free, with an appt.

why is he holding the money? is it for possible injury? contractors dont usually take out medical or taxes, ask why.
