Are bonds by payroll deduction legal?
Can a company require you to sign authorization to deduct from your paycheck money to put aside for any liability it deems? This company has managers sign a $4000'00 bond and money is deducted from payroll weekly.
If the manager errors (not only theft, but other mistakes causing waste), the company has the authority to take money from your bond to cover the loss, including legal fees incurred?
Thank you for your answers so far. I am trying to find out a bit more specifically. Basically, the company believes I errored on something and I am liable.
The other person involved is now suing the company. The company says I am liable for legal fees and all costs related to this, including if the guy settles. I am expected to pay all of it out of pocket. Is this legal? My understanding of bonds would be for theft or damage.
The dude left some personal belongings and I tried to contact him to pick them up for 3 weeks and he never responded. Now he is suing because his things were tossed out.

Yes its perfectly legal...
Many companies require their individual employees to have a bond to cover liability issues such as loss ect ect.
When I was Working as an Armed Security Guard our company contracted with the Port Of Wilmington in Delaware to provide security for the parking lot holding New Cars that were to be shipped out.
The Port required that each armed security guard had to have an individual 20,000 bond ,even though our company was already bonded as a whole, our company deducted the payments from our payroll.

"Are bonds by payroll deduction legal?" Yes, it's perfectly legal to enter into that contract.
"Can a company require you to sign authorization to deduct from your paycheck money to put aside for any liability it deems?" Of course not. If you don't agree with that company's terms of employment, you are free to seek employment elsewhere.

If you AGREE to it, it is legal in most jurisdictions. Such an agreement must be made on hiring, not imposed later.
Some places explicitly ban the company from 'fining' employees for spoilage, waste, or any other workplace situation.

no matter what materials you provide or what data you supply will substitute the minds of the left. human beings will merely attempt and argue with the type you spelled the be conscious "Shall" or "Taxable." absolutely everyone who believes this plan won't fee the tax payers a huge quantity of funds will believe that even after taxes actual do bypass up. Others will bounce off of that bandwagon and declare they help the plan because of fact it fairly is a huge humanitarian reason no matter what the fee of it actual is. thank you for studying this and a minimum of attempting to describe the themes this plan will reason economically.
