An employer may not keep any part of the wage of an employee, either by withholding
an entire paycheck, part of a paycheck, or by way of incremental
wage deductions from several paychecks, as security against some
future or contingent occurrence. This practice amounts to a confiscation
of pay and is a direct violation of the law requiring timely payment of earned wages.
[Note: This section concerns the indefinite holding of wages as security, not the
short-term delay of pay for payroll processing purposes].
