@Shangibs6581,
Not sure I understand the situation, but it will surely depend on location.
The short answer is that in New Mexico, USA, an employer can only withhold pay with written permission of the employee - except for mandatory deductions such as FIT and payroll taxes. Refusing such a withholding might end up in termination of employment, of course.
If an employer is sharing his or her home with his employees, that certainly sounds odd, but not especially relevant to the question.
