No, an employer cannot take an entire payroll check to pay a bill owed to them. Under federal and state wage laws, employees are entitled to receive their full wages for work performed, and employers cannot withhold or deduct wages without consent or legal justification. There are specific regulations governing wage deductions, and any unauthorized deductions could lead to legal consequences for the employer.

Why are the amounts withheld from employees' payroll check a liability of the employer?

Amounts withheld from employees' payroll checks are considered a liability for the employer because these funds are not the employer's property; instead, they are owed to third parties such as tax authorities, retirement plans, and other benefit providers. The employer has a legal obligation to remit these withholdings on behalf of the employees, which creates a financial responsibility. Until these amounts are paid to the respective entities, they represent a liability on the employer's balance sheet.


Am I owed a buyout for not accepting health insurance benefits from employer?

No, you are not owed any money for skipping the employer's health plan. Some employers do this, but others do not. The employer is not required to pay you the cost of the health insurance, if you do not take it.


With direct deposit how do you get the remaining part of your payroll check after the debt has been paid?

It depends on who is doing the depositing/withdrawing. If the person/company owed money set up the direct payment from your payroll check, it should automatically stop when the debt has been paid. However, if you set up the direct deposit, it will continue to go through to them until you stop it by re-doing your direct deposit through your employer. Usually it's a form you fill out that lists the accounts your check goes into and the amounts - you would just submit a new one and it could take up to two (usually) pay periods to go into effect. And then the company you owed money to should cut you a check for the overage when you contact them.


Why is it when you ask for the check in a restaurant they bring us a bill?

The word Check is an old word. It used to be cheque. It represented an "amount owed" on a piece of paper. Once paper checks came out in banking they came to be checks that paid for the amount owed. If you look at a lot of the order pads the waitresses use in cafes you will see it is labeled check not bill.
