no notification for withholding increased amts. from paycheck

[Guest sandyg]

After 14 months on the job, covered by company insurance plan, I raised a question about the premium amt. This inquiry revealed that the employer was in error and that no premium was ever deducted from paycheck. The manager presented me with a memo suggesting we discuss how to repay. This discussion never took place, although I responded with a memo. The following pay, the standard amt was deducted. The next 2 months I discovered that the employer took 3 times the std. amt. from my paycheck without ever consulting me. Is this legal? He is also refusing to reimburse my expense reports to recover this "debt" which he strongly feels I owe.

I'm the one who pointed out the error, and was willing to discuss how to resolve it. Does a time limit apply to how far back he can try to take repayment for HIS error?

Please share, thanks

Assuming this is a fully insured plan then I think you must contact an attorney because you raise all kinds of issues that are controlled by your state's laws.
