Practice question
An employer establishes actual equipment damage, a permitted loss-deduction arrangement and the worker’s responsibility after a fair hearing. It then argues those facts eliminate both the actual-loss ceiling and the weekly-percentage cap. Resolve.
- Responsibility alone authorizes confiscation of all wages
- All applicable conditions remain cumulative; proving responsibility does not erase the separate amount limits
- A hearing automatically doubles the recoverable amount
- Every signature repeals the implementing rule
- An employer’s estimate is conclusive regardless of actual loss
