Taco Bell Refused payment for work rendered Toledo Ohio
My 20 yr. old daughter Netty worked for Taco Bell here in Toledo, Ohio for about a year. They made her an assistant Mgr. which meant nothing but more responsibilities for her. She worked hard and long hrs. for cheap pay thinking that being a manager was proof that she was being successful at her job. She noticed money and food was coming up missing and didn't know how to approach it. She even asked me for help. The only people who could have stealing were her or one of the higher ups! Just last week Netty was let go for keeping a 16 year old employer past curfew, nobody ever informed her that there was such a company policy and she was pretty upset. My complaint however is, they will not give her pay check saying they have to deduct money to install new locks on the building!!!!
I would very much like to organize or help an already existing organization to help boycott Pepsi, Taco bell, and Pizza hut. Please acknowledge.
Thanks

That business cannot withold a paycheck. They also cannot charge your daughter for new locks. Not only is the charge false, they are basically slandering your child by implying that she was fired due to theft.
There are many laws covering how and when a last check must be handled. I believe when you are fired, they usually hand you the check at the same time. Laws vary state to state, with some federal overlap. The Labor Department in your state should be able to help you, and a lawyer wouldn't hurt.
