Frequently Asked Questions

Can my employer make me buy my own tools for work?

It depends on your state and your pay. Under federal law, tool costs cannot bring your pay below minimum wage or cut into overtime, and some states require employers to cover them.

What if the cost of tools came out of my paycheck?

Deductions for tools or equipment that cut pay below the legal minimum, or that your state does not allow, may be owed back to you.

Does this include vehicles, phones and safety gear?

It can. Gear that is required for the job and mainly benefits the employer may count, depending on your state.

What evidence helps an equipment cost claim?

Receipts, job postings, handbook rules, texts about what you had to bring and pay stubs showing deductions all help show what you paid.

How far back can I claim equipment costs?

Deadlines depend on your state and the type of claim. Federal wage claims generally must be filed within two years, or three if the violation was willful.

Does YesLawyer help with equipment cost claims in every state?

YesLawyer connects people with lawyers across the country, though state and case eligibility apply. Whether your claim can be taken depends on your state and the facts of your case.
