I work as a cashier for (deleted) in NY. We send money to other countries. When I was hired, nobody said that any short cash on my cash register, that I was responsable for paying back. Anyway, I don't think is fair I have to pay, I would think that they have Business insurance to cover all these discrepancies. On top of everything, the pay me $8 per hour, I mean, I Don't make a lot of money for them to take it back. I wonder how banks or other companies work on situations like this. Is it any law that can help me.....I mean , I don't have short cash everyday, the maximum I paid was $ 200.......that's half paycheck for the week.... :mad:
Please help me...IS THIS LEGAL?????
Thank you

No, it is not legal. You can be fired or written up, but you cannot be made responsible to pay it back.

What should I do then? :confused:
Talk to the state department of labor.

That is why it is not legal to deduct the money from your check. Too many things that could happen. $200 is a large chunk.
The cash handeling situations I am familiar with the drawer is only handled by ONE person. If there is more than a $3 difference, there is a write up. 3 write ups, and the employee no longer handles money.
Call your states Department of Labor as CGB reccomended.
