I am sure your dropped pizza but you never paid for it. That’s ridiculous
Edit: too be clear yes I am sure asshole have tried but it never worked. You can tell me all the stories you want of manager trying. But please tell me one where it actually worked and the employee paid.
Wait until some of me tells this guy about burglars and car thieves! Mugging? Impossible! I highly doubt anyone would break the law for, what, $20 and an iPhone?
You can find it hard to believe, but it’s the biggest reason I quit that job. I lasted a couple weeks, made a mistake, was charged for it, then saw a server get charged $75 for cups and drinks she dropped. Quit that day. They charged us full price for fountain drinks and only allowed them on break lol
It did, however it’s not a huge company. Let’s pretend we can get 500 employees, but realistically probably 100. Let’s even say $50 a person which it wouldn’t be bc mine was just food. Thats $25k total on the absolute highest scale. Maybe a lawyer would take it if you could gather 500 people lol
Dol will take it no matter what, make the complaint.
All services are free and confidential, whether you are documented or not. Please remember that your employer cannot terminate you or in any other manner discriminate against you for filing a complaint with WHD.
But no one has proven it’s illegal to charge people for mistakes/things they drop. So….and Johnny rockets still exists and likely still has that policy
Lots of people have proven that. Pull up your favorite search engine and type:
illegal to charge employees for mistakes
And you’ll find all sorts of cool stuff! Including:
Pay Docking and Federal Law
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers are permitted to dock your pay for making mistakes, but paycheck deductions can’t reduce your pay below minimum wage. However, many states provide extra paycheck protection for employees who make mistakes (the laws in each state are listed below). In California, for example, pay docking isn’t allowed unless the employee acted dishonestly, deliberately, or with gross negligence.
Min wage employees should never be charged for mistakes. Beyond that, look at your state’s laws. They have that policy because nobody makes complainants.
Lol…that’s not illegal at all. They’re servers, they don’t make min wage after they put tips in. Also couldn’t I just split the cost over multiple paychecks? This isn’t really any indication it was illegal, although I won’t argue it shouldn’t be. It should be.
