i have a buisness question?

Question

Ok i have a question about a buisness.My husband works for an earth moving company(minig,construction type deal)Anyway his boss who is the owner of the company makes them sign papers stating that if they break something while they are on the job they have to pay for it (the workers) They also have to sign a paper saying that they have to buy their own tools for the job. On the paper its says that it will automatically be deducted from their paycheck.Can he do this? Is this legal? The boss also stops by our house alot to borrow tools he needs when my husband isnt working cause he doesnt have them.That i really dont think its fair cause he says (the boss) they have to buy their own tools for the job.Why doesnt he have his own tools? Im wondering because my husband broke a handle off a tractor and now we get 200 $ taken off our check every month until it reaches 4000.00 What does everybody else think?And what can i do about this?The area that we live in doesnt have that many job opportuni

Answer 1

This is more of a question of contract law than business. Legally, if your husband has signed a contract to say he'll buy his own tools and will pay for repairs, he has no choice but to do so. If those were the conditions of his employment, he must abide by them.

I'm not entirely familiar with the laws of your country. At a stretch you may have the right to claim damages off this man for unfair treatment, but you should consult a lawyer on this issue if you want to take it any further.

Good luck with your problem, I hope your husband gets a better job.

Answer 2

Making an employee pay for something they broke is legal. It is the same with anything that the company issued him when he started. And so the old saying goes "You broke it, you bought it." As far as the boss coming by to borrow tools I would put a stop to that. Or tell him that the tool rental for the day is $200.

Answer 3

Sounds like the boss doesn't have insurance, probably does his jobs "under the table", or at least doesn't report all the income. If he had insurance it would cover the tractor at least to the deductible, which would most likely be $1,000 if he had insurance. Bringing your own tools is pretty common. My brother is in construction with repotable companies, and sometimes he needs his own tools, still crappy though.

Answer 4

If one is an "Employee" working for wages, I don't think so.
As you state, he is paid monthly. Is the above correct?

If one is a "sub contractor" and those are the agreements, nothing one can do.

If he is on an hourly wage, I'd check with the Labor Board in your state.

Doesn't sound kosher.

As for tools, auto mechanics buy their own, even though they are paid hourly. This assures against theft and loss.

you'd be wanting more beneficial funds to make investments on your own printing organisation - for kit, education & resources. For a initiate, you ought to hit upon and tie up first w/ a printing organisation ask them to provide you the bottom wholesale cost they elements you with. Then, mark up the cost as a lot as twenty-5-50% . Oh ask them also how a lot that they'd provide you in the adventure that they are going to provide the t-blouse. so that they are going to provide you an finished sale cost for a t-blouse w/ print. then you definitely mark up the cost. then you definitely initiate a promoting and promoting and marketing campaign so that you receives inquiries and orders. Use leaflets modern your citation w/ a minimum volume of 30, 50 inspite of as a lot as one hundred or so. Ask your printer also for volume quotations also. once you're in a position to keep, get a preparation so that you ought to do it your self.
