Unhappy shortages & payroll deductions
okay is it legal for a manager/ owner of a retail store to deduct shift shortages from your paycheck?

Not without your written authorization.

Under Tennessee law deductions can only be taken out of pay if the employee has authorized it by a written statement.

This, of course, does not include taxes or other deductions required by law (such as child support or garnishments).
