<prompt> Human: Hello,Not sure if this is the appropriate sub for this but seeking help.This past Christmas, we were all presented with 50 gift cards by our employer as part of a holiday giftpresent. However, we have noticed that there is a 50 Employee Withdraw from each of our paystubs. We went to our GM about this and he stated that he got permission from our ownerscorporate to do this but that the money would not be missing from our paychecks.However, adding up the gross and removing the deductions it turns out we were all charged the 50 for the cost of the cards.Is this legal and is there anything we can do about it? I tried looking it up with LI lni.wa.gov and any information I could find seems like any deduction like this has to be approved by the employee beforehand.ThanksEdit: Will attempt to post a photo of the paystub when I get home from work.Edit2: Heres a copy of the paystub potato cellphone quality  <response>: They didnt withdraw money from your pay. They have to include the gift card as taxable income
