My employer wants me to pay before I can recieve my paycheck. Is this legal in the state of michigan.?
I work at the subway in Saline,Mi and my employer wants me to split a $4.00 shortage in the cash change box(I'd have to pay $2.00) and also a $15.00 shortage in the till ( again I'd have to $7.50). Is this legal in the state of michigan in Washtenaw County and does anyone know a site where A can print off a law that that states this is illegal?

Go to www.michigan.gov/ and go to the Department of Labor site. There will be a number to call and have your questions answered. Usually unless you have agreed in writing to have monies withheld from your pay to cover till losses an employer is prohibited from doing so. Check with the source I gave to you.

I'm not familiar with Michigan labor law but I can pretty much tell you what he's doing is illegal. If he could hold you accountable for the shortages he'd take it out of your check. Why do you suppose he didn't?
Also, regardless of the state you live in, he can't hold your check for any reason.

Are you the only person that is authorized to use the till and cash change box... Are they secured (locked) boxes... Could only you have made the wrong change... If others were able to get in the boxes...
In my state I would look at the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) website...
I can't tell you which agency to call in yours...

That is not legal anywhere as far as I know. The employer sounds like a cheap crook.
