Re: Witholding pay from employees
No answer can possibly be provided without knowing
the basis for the withholding, which could be anything from a wage garnnishment to some type of security deposit to ensure proper employee notification to employer of an intent to terminate
(which could be valid if employee were working under contract).
And you further confuse matters by your last statement: "And is two months late paying it."
What is it?
