Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts
Corporate Insurance Deductions
I was hired by a company, and selected full insurance. Because I was hired ''mid-week'' my deduction was for the full weekly amount during the first pay period (2 weeks) but I was only employed one week. The company said they dont ''pro-rate'' and I was technically charged for a week BEFORE I started. Is this legal? The are ''self-insured'' through United Insurance. Employees who start at the end of the pay period are not charged extra, and I had no choice on my start date. I hadnt even picked my insurance until the week I was hired. Please Help?

This may be company policy, but functionally they deprived you of your full earnings, and they may have violated the wage law.
