No employer can make any deduction from an employee’s wages without voluntary written authorization to do so, signed by the employee after the particular debt or loss occurs. Even with permission, no employer can make any deduction that would bring the employee’s gross wages below the minimum wage (see Minnesota Statutes 181.79 and Minnesota Rules 5200.0090).Somedays you're the windshield and somedays you're the bug.

The employer can discipline you (including firing you), but they cannot dock your pay unless you say they can.
I am not saying you should be fired or that you should agree to have your pay docked.
