Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Allowable withholdings from last paycheck

We have an employee who we just found out has been handing in unpaid receipts with his travel expenses and I have been paying them, assuming them to be reimbursements. To make a long story short, as of last night he owes the hotel around $700.

My question is, if and when he may get fired/terminate, is it legal for the company to withhold any moneys owed (such as hotel reimbursement which really turned into a travel advance) from his last paycheck?
