Contract liens are totally legal and are probably a part of the generic lease your friend signed. The landlord has the right to remove enough property to cover the amount owed.  But that is based on the fair market resale value, not the replacement value. If your friend's TV cost $600 when he bought it 5 years ago, it's not worth $600 now; fair market value would be less than $100.  It takes a LOT of personal property to equal $2000 resale value.  The good news is if your friend pays what he owes, he can have his stuff back.

If it does not state that those were included specifically IN THE LEASE, then it is very unlikely that you can do anything at all. I suggest you read your lease carefully and, if after reading it you still have reason to believe you should have had both items, I suggest you speak to a lawyer. There may be nothing you can do.

Well first i have to say ur manager is taking advatage of you. If you work at big company like wall mart or walgreens or CVS its a good thing. First, they have to pay you for that day b/c you worked. First, write a letter detailing the situation and then make four copies and sign on all four of them. first. give on copy to your manager and say that "if i am paid, one letter will go to his boss or (district manager) and other to employee relations. and lastu keep it for our record. \n\nLOOK bro what ever they  say u were schduled on that day so u came to work, theres nothing they can do \nDON't forget--- check if that store gives you overtime pay for working holiday most likely they do \n  i was in a similar situation !!!!\n\n Please respond to me and tell me what happen ok \n\n fsi_million@yahoo.con

Unless you signed some sort of contractual agreement, then he has legal holding to force you to pay that, plus there is no law he can use against you either.\n\nThe worst he can do (and I am assuming there is no fraud involved) is that he can fire you, but you may want to contact your local dept. of labor to see what your recourses are in case he does fire you.\n\nBut, don't pay whatever he's trying to force you to pay!

I would call a lawyer for a free counsutation about this. They may be charging you because you were directly involved in the jobs, doing the work.

Look at your original lease.  He cannot add terms or conditions to the original document.  That constitues a breach.  DO NOT sign the new one without talking to a lawyer about what your rights are in regards to the original contract.  When someone changes a material portion of the lease, they are offering you a new lease.  He is still responsible for what is under the original before the date of the new one.  \n\nNow I'm telling you this without looking at the lease, and without knowing the laws in your area.  you should definitely have a  lawyer look at it though.  \n\nJust a thought....you might want to consider moving anyway, but at least get rid of the 30-day eveiction notice part.  Please have it checked out though.\n\n  me

Just pay it back. NO legal problem, but make up a story as to why you thought you were getting the extra money.

Check your lease terms. I am sure that your landlord and manager would understand. Don't forget to give a proper notice in advance.

teekshi is wrong.  When you put something in layaway, you don't add the layaway payment to the total payment.  In this case, you put down the 10%, which has been correctly calculated to be $14.  You still owe the difference 140-14=126.  So, you can't take the item with you until you pay the difference ($126)

this is under the law of bailment. when you are borrowing something from someone you generally owe duty of reasonable care as to that which you are borrowing.

Unless you signed a form that says you would participate in a benefit program and allow the company to deduct money from your paycheck, the comapony is stealing from you. It is that simple. A company may not withold funds from you without your written authorization.\n\nSeek a lawyer immediately to help get your money back.\n\nGood luck!

Unless you feel the amount owed to you is worth upward of $500, don't waste your time. I was screwed out of my deposit and billed $700 for an apartment I had cleaned after I moved out and took pictures.  I left a telephone and a mirror the assistant manager asked I not put into the trash ( he said when the dumpsters were emptied they would remove it for me).  I was charged $400 for trash removal, and carpet cleaning $125 ( have a receipt my carpet was cleaned 30 days before I moved out) and they didn't clean the carpet they replaced it.  My time was worth more then the headache I went through, I fought it based on the principal.  My manager had been a good friend and then pulled this crap on me.  I would let it go. It made the joy of buying my first home more of a nightmare trying to fight my old landlord.  We finally agreed to disagree.  She kept my $550 ( oh I am getting mad just thinking about it) and I wasn't charged the additional money they tried to milk me for.

there are a few things you can do: go to the court house and get a garnishment /execution paper and run a cash drawer levy on them. other than that since you are in cali the laws might be different but you could also run a asset levy against the co. checking acct if you can find it

If an employer fires you,they have to pay any wages owed to you plus any other compensation (vacation pay,etc.) on the spot.\n AS a manager,you are responsible for those under you and the money.\n Your boss has to prove you took the money,but you might be able to get your job back-talk to the state or Federal Dept. of Labor.\n You could possibly sue for Wrongfull Termination if your boss can't prove you took the money.

Did you sign the contract/agreement or it was verbal commitment? Do they have fine print somewhere in this agreement?\nDo you have irrevocalbe protection wording/statement in the text?

If I were you, contact the Ministry or Department of Labour as soon as possible. They take these actions very seriously and your company can be faced with huge fines (I mean huge fines), workers compensations, and also lawsuits that you can file. \n\nContact the Ministry/Department of Labour immediately and report this to them. Its you rights to know what is happening to you and you deserve every right no matter what.
