yes , it is illegal to not pay you... you need to file a civil case against your employer and try to sue them for more than what you made , to make it worth the hassel.
Only if the employee is illegal. then fire him.
It really depends on the situation. Was the other person a Manager, in Payroll or Human Resources? Since a paycheck is confidential, it really shouldn't be handled by anyone except these type of employees otherwise the Employer is putting himself at risk. Hopefully you received it in a sealed envelope...
no
It depends on the situation. In small businesses which don't have a separate finance team, a single accountant (or other allocated individual) may be forced to process all the paychecks, despite being colleagues of equal status. This in itself isn't illegal.
It is not necessarily illegal, but it can be unsafe.
yes
no, if it was approved by the other members.
Most states have laws requiring employers to pay employees all pay due each payday. If an employer reduces employe pay for any reason, it must never be lower than the number of hours worked times the minimum wage. A zero paycheck for a full workweek is illegal.
It is illegal for an employer or manager to count and get waitress' tip money. If the employer or manager collects these, employee can sue employer for theft.
If you mean can an employer compel an hourly employee to work without pay, then no, never. Hourly employees must be paid for all hours worked.
No because if they're undocumented they should'nt even be working there and it's illegal to have an undocumented employee so you can get in trouble as well. An undocumented employee is illegal to have, and they can file a lawsuit, but their employer may get in really big trouble, and so will they.
If the employee did not commit the crime at work, the employer may do nothing or may dismiss the employee, as it wishes. If the crime happened at work or the employee gave a false ID to get hired (as millions of illegal aliens do) the employer cooperaqtes with law enforcement to investigate the crime.
