Deductions from paycheck

TABHR

I have several employee's who have veterinary services provided to them by our facility.  Most of them do not have the money upfront and would like to have an agreed upon amount deducted from their paycheck every two weeks.

They would sign a contract for employee payment, allowing us to make the scheduled deductions.  The contract would also state that if resignation/termination occurs and there is still a remaining balance, the balance would be deducted from the final paycheck.

I am asking if anyone knows if this would be compliant from an HR/Payroll standpoint, considering that the employee will sign and agree upon the deductions rather than pay by personal check/credit card/cash every two weeks.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I would only caution you to be mindful of minimum wage requirements. Deductions from checks can not reduce an employee's pay below the minimum wage even with an agreement signed by the employee.
