Quoth CoffeeMonkey View Posteeeeeexactly. Or the company has a policy, which you agree to follow when hired, that says they will take said money out of your pay.
Or they just take it, and count on the employee not knowing that they can't. How often do you hear of servers having to cover the tab of a dine and dash? sometimes it's a small time gig and the boss doesn't know that they're breaking the law because they're not well enough educated on it themselves, and sometimes they may know full well, but their employees don't.Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.
I'm a case study.

No one is taking my pay w/o a fight. The money the business looses from dine and dashers is part of their overhead which they will have to suck up.I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

lonnolan, go back to management and explain what happened, and see if they'll reverse the docked pay. If they aren't helpful, try going to corporate human resources and explain the situation to them.Labor boards have info on local laws for free

On agreeing to have $ taken out - it varies by state. If it's legal in your state, there may not be much you can do. If it's not, either that part of the contract/agreement or the entire thing is automatically invalid. For everyone."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.
