A couple of the techs & deconners drug up on the last job I was at. The company we were working for deducted a week's per diem plus their travel pay TO the site from their last check. Two questions :
1. Has anyone else had similar experiences?
2. Is there ANY way this is legal? I always thought the travel was ours as soon as we passed the entrance exam(s) and assumed if you worked the time, you got the diem... (I know I have quit a couple jobs and never lost anything that had already been paid to me...)

First time I saw the take back Line was in proceesing for Duke last year.

I just quit @Duke Power and I think they took more than that. But I will be talking to a lawyer soon. I dont see how its legal. If there are more Techs out there that this has happened to should respond to this post, this might turn into a class action suit.

This happened at Oyster leak in 83/84 with NSS.They had everyone sign a three month commitment ,and 40hours+ per diem if we left prior .This never held up as it was written one-way.They could lay you off if they saw fit.Talk to the Labor board first ,its free.No one can deduct anything from your pay with out you authorizing it.If they feel they are due money from you they have to get a court judgement .Don't delay.
