I have worked for a concrete contractor for over 18 years. I have been laid off due to lack of work as is with this job and area. I was collecting unemployment and periodicly working for the company, however indiana unemployment requires that I seek full time work while collecting bennefits.
I was fired for seeking employment, and on my final check I was deducted $156.75 for insurance that I had previously stated I did not want. I also NEVER signed anything authorizing any wages to be deducted. Is this legal? I am not so concerned about the money it is just this employer feels he is above the law and if any way I can I want to show him he isnt, and I want to protect other employees that are still unfortunatly stuck working for this guy.
