Legal Question in Employment Law in Maryland

Re: Final Paychecks

Under Maryland Law, generally an employer may not make a deduction from the wage of an employee unless the deduction is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or authorized expressly in writing by the employee. An employer should pay an employee all wages due for work that the employee performed on or before the day on which the employee would have been paid the wages if the employment had not been terminated.
