This doesn't quite fit under "job discrimination and harrassment," but I didn't know where else to post it.
I live in Ohio and work for a nationwide company out of Connecticut. My branch office is located in PA. Each employee within the company gets a "profit sharing" check every few months.
Our company deals with millions of dollars daily. One of the employees from my branch stole $20,000 from the company over a period of a few months. He was caught and is now spending time in prison. Because of this, the rest of the employees are being punished. No one from my branch is getting a profit sharing check now. We will not receive one until the $20,000 is paid back with our profit sharing checks.
Is it legal for the company to take our profit sharing checks to pay back an amount of money that was proved to be stolen by another employee?
