Natalie faces a distressing situation when her boss informs her that she has been overpaid by $7,000 and must either repay it or work without pay. While federal and state laws allow for wage garnishments due to overpayment, New York state offers additional protections that prohibit employers from forcing employees to work unpaid. Natalie’s employer must provide formal notice for any deductions, and the conversation alone does not suffice. If she faces illegal deductions, she can file a claim with the state's labor department.
