Asked on May 09th, 2012 on Business Law - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I have found another job, my last job wants me to write them a letter stating I have voluntarily left there company. They also said they are going to reduce my last check to Minimum Wage for I did not give them a full two week notice. They also want the uniform back but if it is not "Dry Cleaned" there will be a five dollar charge, how ever when we got our stuff from them half of it was bunched up and smelled as if they had mildew on. They did not pay us for that.
As a general matter, unless you have agreed in advance that you will give two weeks' notice, you should be paid at your agreed rate through the last day you worked. If in doubt, complain to your state's labor commissioner.
