Employee Quiting with Wages Owed to Employer
Employee took vacation and then quit and owes wages to Employer. What is Ohio's law regarding deducting wages from last paycheck?
Everything I am searching says Ohio law is silent on the issue.
Also, can a public/private employer state this action in Employment handbook?

Employers cannot make deductions without the employee's consent
Google Ohio revised code 4113.15 for Ohio's wage payment law. In a nutshell, you cannot make deductions unless the employee authorized them without running a risk of a $200 penalty. Putting something in your employee handbook will not override this law.
