Re: 100.00 taken from check.
It is illegal to take money from a pay unless the employee has executed an agreement providing authority to do so. He can contact the California Labor Commissioner and file a complaint or contact the employer directly. There can be penalties imposed for doing so without permission.
However, the employer always has the right to collect the money through small claims court.
Good luck.
