Re: Promissory Notes

Provided that the deduction does not cause your wages to fall below the federal minimum wage ($5.15/hr), in Tennessee, the answer is yes. If the deduction does cause your wages to fall below minimum wage, then you may have a claim for the unpaid amount of these wages. Of course, at the same time, your employer also has a claim against you for the personal use of the credit card.
