In Most States no they cannot. An employer cannot deduct any amount of money from your pay check unless there is a prior written agreemnet. This would also including deducting fees for lost or stolen company uniforms. Below is how the law in Tennessee reads.

No.
NEVER
Contact your employer, they can change it for you. You most likely will need to contact the person who is in charge of payroll, as was the case w/my employer.

I have no idea what "qualified theft" consists of. However, the general answer is yes. A former employer can charge an ex-employee with wrongdoing even if it is discovered after the employee has voluntarily resigned.
Here are a few of my observations: Advantages of using payroll service bureau: The payroll company is on top of the most current laws and regulations. You do not have to sign all the checks. The employer taxation and employee taxation calculations are done for you - you don't have to have an accounting degree to figure that out. The service can pay your taxes for you. The payroll service will retain records for your payroll needs. Disadvantage of using payroll service bureau: Some service bureaus will charge the employer each time they make a call, request a report, ask for a copy of a check etc. There would be a cost each time the W-2s are processed for the year as well as a cost for a copy of the W-2s. There is a fee involved in hoping that the service bureau is doing everything to support your needs. The service does not back the employer should there be a federal, state, unemployment, or workers comp investigation. Advantages of processing payroll in house: you are in charge of when the business money will be debited from your account; you own the process; you do not pay fees to a payroll service. Disadvantage of processing payroll in house: it takes time from you doing your own business; you have to be an expert in federal and state payroll laws; someone in your company has to process the payroll taxes on time, every time. You have to keep accurate and up to date records. You should have retained counsel in case of an employee suing you. Try a different kind of payroll service where the burden of being the employer of record is retained by Administaff so you have time to take care of your business. www.administaff.com
Yes it is possible. But generally people don't.
NOU.S. Department of Labor InterpretationOne potential complicating factor is the U.S. Department of Labor's position regarding direct deposit found in Section 30c00 of its Field Operations Handbook:Section 30c Payment of Wages30c00 Method of PaymentThe payment of wages through direct deposit into an employee's bank account is an acceptable method of payment, provided employees have the option of receiving payment by cash or check directly from the employer. As an alternative, the employer may make arrangements for employees to cash a check drawn against the employer's payroll deposit account, if it is at a place convenient to their employment and without charge to them. (Field Operations Handbook, 12/9/88)Colorado Department of Labor & EmploymentMethods of PaymentColorado employers may pay their employees with checks (or other instruments payable upon demand), cash, paycards, or by direct deposit into the employee's account at a financial institution.Direct deposits can only be made if the employee has voluntarily authorized the deposit and has chosen the financial institution into which the deposit is made.
