Can an employer make a deduction from my paycheck or require me to pay for a license, certificate or certification that is required in order for me to perform the job?
A. No. The Wage Payment Law states that an employer cannot make a payroll deduction for a license, certificate or certification that is required in order for an employee to be permitted to perform the job. However, if the license, certificate or certification is the property of the employee, not exclusive to one employer and is required to perform the job, the employee can be required to pay for it, although not by means of a payroll deduction.
