What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI
I am writing this for someone without internet connection. Person hired in factory. Takes company physical and instructed to buy safety boots (steel toe). Person was told boots would be taken out of check.
Person works to Friday and around noon, gets called into HR. Because person had two dr appts scheduled was told that they were being let go because "they needed someone who would be here all the time." Person was agreeable and shook hands and left.
Employee was paid $300+ for time worked and nothing taken out for boot cost. Today (former) employee gets letter saying to send $169 for company physical and $149 for safety boots, as they were not employed 90 days by company. Can company charge employee for company physical? Boots? Boots were charged to company account as per normal procedure.
Letting someone go because they tell you they have two upcoming dr appts? This employee is a type I diabetic who wears an insulin pump and would be visible to employers.
