In most cases, the answer is yes. Standard business practice for a company that makes loans to employees is to have the employee sign a pay-back agreement. In the agreement, there usually is a section that specifies what happens when the employee leaves the company before the loan is paid. In most cases, the agreement stipulates that the employer can deduct the balance of the loan from the employee's final paycheck.

It depends on the laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. In some cases, employers may legally withhold a final paycheck to recover outstanding debts owed to the company. However, in most jurisdictions, employers are required to pay the final paycheck in a timely manner regardless of any outstanding debts. It is best to consult with a local labor or employment lawyer to understand the specific laws in your area.

Can a employer hold money from your check because you lost a company credit card?

Probably the employer can reimburse itself for any losses it incurred because of your error out of your paycheck. However, the employer probably can't reimburse itself for any loss it incurred beyond that (i.e. a penalty). Talk with your employer and get a detailed statement of the amounts withheld and why (request documentation of the employer's losses as well). Talk to a lawyer if the employer refuses.

Is it legal for employer to withhold 401k contributions from check but not pay them in to your 401k?

Yes. When monies are deducted from your paycheck they are supposed to be sent to a trust company to protect them. The reason for the trust company to hold them is so no one has access to your funds, but you. You will definitely want to submit your paystubs to your plan administrator to determine the discrepancy.
