a check from them very Monday for acount calls (for the week prior). My lease per week was 6 days at $210.00 or 5 days at $350.00 (not a type-0)There is No written contract. On this weeks check the company

Re: Check deduction/ no policy
It sounds like your employer has attempted to craft an independent contractor arrangement. If you are truly an independant contractor, the legality of deductions would be determined by the contract. With no written contract past practice would be used to make the determination. If you are really an employee then such a deduction would be unlawful.
