    Default Can My Last Paycheck Be Withheld After 'Breach of Contract'

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Michigan

    According to my former employer i broke my contract when i left and i owe $200. Can they withhold my last paycheck as payment towards that amount?

    Do you have an actual employment contract?

    What does it say about breaking it?

    the contract only mentions training time. i needed to stay with the company for at least 3 months (the length of the training period) or i would need to pay a percentage (based on the % of the 3 months i worked) of the $800 it took to train me.

    i worked for 5.5 months and now they are trying to say that i needed to have been working 6 months and i owe 25% of the $800 and are holding my last paycheck as my first payment towards that.

    they have not yet given me the copy of the contract that i signed, but they have given me a letter stating that they are withholding my paycheck and giving me a payment plan to pay the rest. that letter got to me about a week to late for me to pay the first payment of that plan. that letter was complete with grammatical errors.
