sexual harrassment - also payroll deductiond

Answered 11 years ago by attorney Kirk J. Angel   |   1 Answer
I am very confused by this post.  It is labeled as "sexual harassment - also payroll deduction." However, there is no mention of sexual harassment in the post.  Also, I do not see a question.  You may want to think about what you want to ask and then re-post this with a specific question (or questions) and just the facts related to your question(s).   In general, employers are only allowed to make deductions from employees wages if the employee has agreed to it in writing.  Also, and in general, a wage and hour lawsuit has a rolling statute of limitations of 2 years (sometimes 3).  So, if you file a lawsuit today for a wage and hour violation on the payroll deduction, you can only collect back two years from today and that keep rolling along until February of 2016 when the statute will run out.  However, if this issue is solely about $10.00 per week, it will not be worth paying an attorney to try to get that money for you.  Therefore, you might want to file with the NC Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, to see if they can help.  Time is running out though....

There is a time period in which you have to file an EEOC charge, and then after making a timely filing, EEOC will then do their own investigation and you will be issued a right to sue letter by that agency such that you can bring a civil action against your employer.

Not sure what you are asking.  If you believe you were subjected to sexual harassment, it would be very helpful if another person (the outside person you mention) could testify to any sexual harassment they saw.  Sexual harassment has a very specific legal definition so just another person thinking something is sexual harassment does not make it so....
