Not sure about that, I have never (in 30 plus years working) seen that on my pay stubs. Contact the dept of labor in your state, and see if they can give you the answer to this. Please let me know (on my message board) if you would, this is interesting.

∙ 16y agoNo. That would be against the law. It should be the same across the U.S. Employers are not allowed to retaliate against their employees due to injuries that were suffered on the job or was a direct cause due to job duties. If you are fired, you should seek the assistance of the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (this is where you would report it if you lived in California) in your area and explain to them the situation. In most cases, the deputies/case managers will be able to assist you filing a claim without having to hire a lawyer. However, if the amount you claim in damages exceeds $10,000, they probably will tell you to seek the assistance of an employment lawyer. An attorney that specializes in employment law should be able to assist you far better than other attorneys that dabble in general areas such as civil litgation. However, be prepared to pay a consultation fee as not all lawyers give out free consultations and sometimes it's worth paying the money to speak to someone that has an excellent reputation. Most cases can be settled out of court instead of actually litigating it for less than what your initial demand would be as litigation is costly and bad publicity for businesses. However, whether you have a strong case or not should be discussed with an attorney who should be honest about your chances in obtaining any type of settlement or awards, especially if you sign a contingency retainer (where attorney takes normally 33.33% of payout). If you don't win, they don't get anything.

∙ 13y agoFirst your paycheck with your net take home pay (net pay after all deductions) that you have in your hand will not have anything withheld from it because it is issued to you after all of the necessary taxes and other amounts that the employer is required to withhold from your gross wages, salary, earnings, etc.
When you have a employer you would NOT be a self employed taxpayer with that employer and the employer payroll department would be required to withhold all of the necessary taxes, and items that they have to withhold from your gross wages, salary, etc.

What is the definition of employee?
A person who works for someone else in return for financial compensation.
You own your business of contract welding but you have not found any work because of the economy can you receive unemployment compensation in Idaho?
No. By definition you are not an employee of someone else and lost your job.
If you were hurt on the job but your job consists of working in people's homes can you sue the homeowner for an attic ladder breaking plus get workmens comp?
Answer"Sue" just means "ask". You're asking the courts to award you money to offset real or perceived harm. The court will then look at all of the events leading up to the harm and make a determination about whether you have a valid claim. If it turns out to be caused by something that YOU did, the courts probably won't award you what you're asking.If you were hurt on the job, and you are a contractor, you are supposed to be responsible for your own medical/insuranc bills. If you are an employee of someone who sent you to work on a house, your employer is required to carry workmens compensation insurance. If you're just helping out a neighbor, you might be entitled to compensation for damages, but consider what it will do to your relationship with the neighbor. What you're asking does not have a simple answer.
Is it legal to let an employee go because you let a relitive of the employees go?
In some states and countries, you can only fire someone for poor performance or as part of a layoff. In others, you can terminate anyone anytime for any reason, and you do not have to tell the employee why they are being let go.

Is it legal for an employer to fire someone for theft when there is absolutely no proof that they took anything?
No. It is a misconception that an employer cannot terminate an employee without specific reason. The employee may have grounds to file suit against an employer if it can be proven that he or she were discriminated against under the EEOC laws and regulations.
Is it legal to terminate someone that is looking for other employment?
Whether or not it is legal or illegal to terminate an employee for any reason depends on which state you are in. Some states such as Florida, have fire at will. In Florida an employer can terminate an employee for any reason whatsoever. Be careful of what you sign. Get something from your employer. The only thing you might be able to sue him for is slander if he does not watch what he says! In some other states, workers have far more rights. Since most workers have feelers out most of the time, it probably would be difficult for a boss to fire a person for having a feeler out unless he was in a fire at will state.
