State Law Versus Written Agreement?

Question

A followup from the previous question. My previous employer of a security position. Told me today that I signed a binding document to pay for the security license transfer and the uniform. Texas State Law says that I cannot be charged for work related items or supplies. Which is the final rule.He will be deducting the uniform and license transfer on Thursday when we meet. He has not given me a copy of what I signed or a itemized list of what he purchased when we met at the uniform store. I do not have a store reciept either and he keeps saying the uniform that you bought. He has the recippt because he bought them in front of me. What would you do, Do I return everything. All he is asking for is the patched to the uniform.

Answer 1

Check your assumption about state law.  In general, such laws only apply in the absence of a contract to the contrary.  That is, you are free to enter into a contract of employment with almost any terms.  I the absence of a contract, then the terms will be those provided by statute.  

Answer 2

The state law should be what you go by. Let your employer know of the state law.
