Deductions from Pay
New York State law greatly restricts the deductions that can be taken from an employee's paycheck. Essentially, only two types of deductions are allowed: those required by law or order of court (such as for income taxes and garnishments) and those to which the employee consents.
Unlawful deductions can be recovered either with the aide of the New York State Department of Labor, or through a lawsuit. If the amount is small enough, you could even go through Small Claims Court.
