No, they cannot take your wages away or "set off" your wages against some imaginary debt they're saying you owe. Call the labor board for your state and report what they're doing.

JudicialRestraints posted:They can however fire him for an imagined or nonexistent slight. Depends on whether it's an "at will" state, although it probably is. They cannot fire him for whistleblowing on them to the labor board for illegal practices, however, and he could probably file suit for wrongful termination if they fired him in proximity to his report.

Well the damages are presumed, but are they nominal? Is it worth hiring an attorney and going through a suit, obtaining a judgment, and then trying to collect it out of state? Does the defendant have any assets at all, or it just some dickhead who doesn't like you who lives in an apartment and drives a 1989 Volkswagon? Lots of people have good causes of action. That doesn't mean it still makes sense to file suit.
