Re: accounts rec deduction on final check

Demand an accounting for the deduction from the employer. If there is no basis for the deduction you should contact the State Labor Commissioner's office nearest to you and file a claim. California prohibits deductions not authorized by you in writing. If you didn't receive all wages due to you at the time of separation, penalties may also be available to you as part of your claim.
