Jessie,
The money was supposed to be paid upon leaving the company and their was a provision in our contract for the remaining balance to be taken out even if it was more than $25. I can't remember the exact words but I know it was there because I read it over and over again the last time around. The reason we got the money back when we got furloughed was because we weren't leaving the company. We were being furloughed, by definition a furlough is a temporary leave of absence. We weren't being terminated, we weren't leaving the company. We just wouldn't be working or collecting a paycheck.
