Add Comment Question: We recently terminated an employee for theft of company phones. During the time they were in his possession he accumulated significant charges on them, and was the only employee with access to them. Are we entitled to withhold his final pay and outstanding vacation as way of compensation? I've consulted the CLC and it's not quite clear on this. Answer: Strictly speaking, you are not entitled to do that and should, instead, take legal action to recover amounts owed to you.
