Wage offset for employee theft.
This Wyoming bill (SF 101) allows employers to deduct money from an employee's final paycheck to cover theft or damage caused by the employee. It applies to most employees but excludes commission-based sales agents with custody of company funds. Employers may only deduct if the employee admits the theft or a court determines it, and they cannot withhold wages for more than three months while pursuing legal action. The law modifies existing wage payment rules to clarify this deduction process.
