They don’t always but the company could allow those who think the company withheld too much to present proof, ie, a tax return.
I’m not defending the company. Merely showing how a company could implement this policy.
For the record, I think this is fake news, something a BernieBro would invent to castigate “greedy” corporate America.
Uh -- what?
The confidentiality of a Federal tax return is protected by law. Isn't that what President Trump has been saying for years? And yet you're telling me my employer can force me to show it to him in order to get paid what he has already agreed to pay me?
Sorry -- but this story smells like bullcrap from top to bottom.
If there's any truth to it, this may just be a marginal company's way of enticing people to quit so they can't collect unemployment.
