I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in NY state. My employer deducts a flat fee from my wages each time a person pays via credit card. Is this legal? This is in regards to wages, NOT tips. It seems I am simultaneously an employee and and independent contractor. I think I"m an "at will" employee? I am issued a w2 not a 1099. I was asked to sign a non compete agreement which I did. It is in a 5 mile radius and in effect for 1 year following separation. THanks

It is legal if it is the deal. If you have no contract you are an at will employee but you are also only entitled to minimum wage to be illegal.
