At my place of employment a memo was recently posted that any employee that let's a customer walk out of the office with an unpaid balance that employee would be responsible for that balance. In the past a billing would be sent out to the customer but it seems it would save the employer time and a stamp to just take it out of my check. I thought that if that agreement was not arranged and signed at the time of employment that could not be the case. If possible I would a legal point of view.

Contact the Unemployment office for the State labor relations office phone number and call them. Odds are it'll vary by state; and they won't guess, they will know and if it's illegal, they can contact the employer and resolve it.

That doesn't sound legal. Sounds like a threat to make sure the customer pays. How could you afford an extremely high bill? You could probably sue the guy in that case. Sounds like a jerk and it's time to job hunt.

Not unless YOU are the customer with the unpaid balance...and even then that does not seem lawful. Thats a bunch a bull!! I would get a lawyer and ASAP!
