That employee can go to the phone book or the internet, and find the Wisconsin Division of Labor Standards, Labor Standards Bureau, who will take your complaint and get your money for you.
Wage and hour laws vary from one state to the next, and I don't practice in Wisconsin. But deducting something from your paycheck, when the money isn't used for the stated purpose, is not something an employer in any state should be allowed to get away with. If you need more information, and reliable advice based on all of the facts of your case, you should talk to a lawyer in your area. One place to look for an attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com
