Legal Question in Employment Law in Oklahoma

company vehicles

Can an employer make an employee pay the deductable for the damage to a company vehicle that was driven on company time due to an accident?

The ''deductable'' is just a figure the

boss made up, apparently he only has

the basic liability on his vehicles. The boss states that for each accident an employee has the have to pay $500.

Thankyou.

Re: company vehicles

Under federal law, the Fair Labor Standards Act would likely only be violated if the deduction was to cause your compensation to fall below the minimum wage rate of $5.15 per hour. Your individual state's law may vary, so you should consult an attorney to learn what rights you may have.
