    Default Paycheck Garnishment Kentucky

    My employer deductes all tools lost, gas card and credit card receipts not turned in by the employee to the employer from the employee’s paycheck.

    Is that legal?

    The problem is not turning in the receipts, it's that they tend to get lost by the employer and the employee's have to pay the price.
