It depends on your employeers policy.  There's NO law requiring comp time, and if you mean comp time as in not being paid OT then that's illegal in most cases.

I would expect the correction to come by your next paycheck.  If not, you may want to ask your local Department of Labor and Industries.

It depends on the state in which you are employed and whether or not you are a salaried or an hourly employee.  Different states have different regulations.  California, for instance, generally does not allow docking a salaried employee's pay.  You can contact the Labor Commissioner's office for your state and they will tell you whether or not what happened to you is legal in your state.

Depending on who was at fault..If it was the sales person...Definately...For the amount lost...Immediate termination and possibly charges laid,,,\n\nIf it was the customer...No....They, then become liable...However, you may and probably have to forfeit any commission or compensation back to the business....\n\nHope all works out...Yukoneze

I'm not sure exactly what to what you are referring, but if you are being directly reimbursed by a company (I'm assuming you're not the owner of this company) for a specific expense, you cannot claim that expense against your taxes.

If you have a human resource department you would report it to them first. If not you report it to your state labor board. They will walk you thru what you need to do.

Why don't you ask your local payroll office.  There should be a number on your pay slip.

It sounds unfair, since you're there for the employer's benefit.  I would check with your state's Labor Department.

it actually depends on the state you are in.  my personal advice would be to call a lawyer in that area.  This is much too serious of a matter to let a mistake cost him his rights to workmans comp.

I agree with the answers provided above, but with one caveat. Illegal business activities are not allowed to deduct business expenses. So reporting the illegal gambling winnings on a Schedule C would mean that no expenses can be claimed. This would subject the gross winnings (from illegal gambling) to Self-Employment Taxes. This will increase your taxes, and not provide you with the benefit of deductible expenses.\n\nSo, I would list this income as gambling winnings, with losses reported on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nWilliam

If you are wrongly paid, and you KNEW about it, and kept the money anyway, then it IS your fault and responsibility.  They will fight that you should of returned the money for the proper sum.  Sorry bout that man!  Bum deal!

Probably not called a fine, but yes penalties can come with a write up.  \n\nAll depends on the company policy, and the state and other government laws.\n\nSee Dept. of Labor website below, for more info.

It really depends on your company's policy.  I asked a similar question to HR after my company was taken over.  She said the old company wouldn't do anything, but the new one might pursue.  The company might take your last paycheck to offset the dollar amount they have "lost."

Logically, your employer has nothing to do with somebody losing a laptop. If the laptop belonged to the company, for sure the employer is not "letting" others lose his property, unfortunately it happens. \nIf somebody else lost the laptop that the company gave you to work with - then it's your loss.\nIf somebody else lost their laptop and it had your information on it - if you want to sue, then sue the person who lost the laptop.
