    Employee rights, do we have them?
    In Florida when a person leaves a job and the boss takes money out of your check for no reason, what can a person do??

    Generally, an employer doesn't take money out of a check for "no reason".

    What reason have they given you? I know in our company, if you quit with no notice (because we depend on our crews), your last paycheck will be given at minimum wage. That is, however, in our employee agreement.

    Depending on your contract/agreement, and what the employer's reasoning is (like not returning uniforms, for instance) you may just be out of luck.

    Hello fight:

    You can sue them in small claims court, and I would.

    First of course honest employers don't, they hold money out for uniforms or keys not returned, They may hold money for 100' of reasons, Normally employees fault. In some cases the employee signed if they leave within a certain time frame they will pay back certain debts, and with insurance sells people often they have advace against commission they will actually owe the company.

    But if you believe it was taken out wrongly, you sue them in court.
