Maupin, C.J.,
concurring:
I agree with the majority that NRS 608.110(1) permits employers in this state to make deductions from wages paid to employees per prior written authorization signed by the employee. Thus, as noted by the majority, the legal conclusions of the hearing officer were in error.
I would add to the majority analysis by stating my view that Ms. Meranian’s agreement to the withdrawals, standing on its own, cannot as a matter of law give rise to an inference of coercion. Our conclusion that such agreements are legal absent some collateral evidence of coercion is simply at odds with the notion that the nature of these arrangements is inherently coercive.
