Texas company looking to dock paychecks for those receiving stimulus checks



WGNO


" The agreement would put workers under a “temporary compensation reduction that is in line with the assistance that it receives from the federal government related to the COVID-19 pandemic.” By signing the agreement, the company’s employees would have their paychecks between April 6 and April 20 cut by 100% of any money received under the stimulus bill.

The company would also take half of the $500 stipend allotted for dependents under the bill."

I’d say pretty low. They’re using the stimulus money to the employees to enrich themselves through cost savings. If I worked there I’d be looking elsewhere.

Probably liberals running that business. Typical.

The whole thing is dirty, but how is this part even lawful? You can't just commandeer part of, let alone HALF of a stipend provided by the federal government.

Unnamed company. Should threaten to go public and refuse to sign. Hell, I would demand they match the bonus for being so low. The public relations would be a disaster.

Either report them to the IRS and the local US attorney and claim whistle-blower status, or call their bluff and sue them if they don't back off, which puts their name in the public record.
