[pa] Boss Shorted My Final Check To Fix "pto Mistakes" From Months Ago.

Hey everyone,

I just left my job in PA and got my final paycheck via direct deposit today. It was short by a few hundred bucks, so I emailed HR to ask why. This was their response:

"This paycheck was for 56 hours. You were paid for two days throughout the year that should have been no pay. Since you did not accrue the rest of your time they were deducted from your final paycheck. Those dates are 6/12 and 8/3. You were also out on 10/26 so that is counted as no pay."

I totally agree that the day in October should be unpaid since I was out. But they are literally deducting hours I just worked to fix payroll mistakes they made back in June and August. I never signed anything during onboarding that said they could dock my final pay for negative PTO balances.

I do have one concern: I was distracted when I read the email and stupidly replied, "works for me. thank you!" But now I am wondering… is that even legal?

Can they actually legally claw back money from months ago out of a completely different paycheck? And did my dumb email reply waive my rights, or can I still walk it back and demand my money?

Any advice on PA labor laws would be a massive help. Thanks.

Location: Pennsylvania

EDIT: thank you for the responses! i figured this would be the outcome, but just wanted to make sure.
