I am in the process of resigning from a job, and we have one of those vacation policies where we are allotted a lump sum at the beginning of the year to use, but we then accrue our right to it over the following months. It says in our handbook that any overdrawn balance will be deducted from our final check, but I don't think my final check will be enough to cover what I owe. I have no problem paying back what I owe but I want to make sure I don't get screwed over in the process.
So my questions are, if I owe more back in overdrawn vacation than my final paycheck, can they give me a zero dollar final paycheck? And as far as the remainder, do I owe them back the pre-tax or post-tax amount? And if my direct deposit agreement authorizes them to debit overpayments and errors, does this count as an overpayment and they can just debit my bank account for whatever else they think I owe them? I don't want to have money leaving my account that I can't budget for ahead of time and end up overdrawn.
This isn't something I can really go to our lone HR person about, as her harassing me is the reason for my resignation. So I'm curious what the law says in this situation.
