Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
My former employer wants me to reimburse money that I supposedly mistakenly overpaid in tips to the floor staff. ( I was a manager at a restaurant). He's saying that this happened sometime in September of last year. Starting February of this year I am no longer with this restaurant, and was very surprised when he contacted me a couple of months ago demanding payment, since this issue had never been brought up during my employment there. Does he have a legal right to do that? And if this really happened by mistake, what options do I have?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I would not let the request for reimbursement go unanswered. If the money was not overpaid to you, then I would politely reject his request and suggest that he seek reimbursement from those who actually received the overpayment.
Good luck!
