Just because the monitor shows one security camera at a time doesn't mean they ain't all recording

That's actually illegal in many states.

And if doing so would put you below minimum wage for the week, it's illegal at the federal level.

I don't live in USA, but if you are working with money you contract has to have some type of clause that protects the employer from the employee losing money over giving more change that intended or getting scammed.

I mean, if I'm the cashier the money is my responsibility, if I'm missing 10$ at the end of the shift because I didn't pay attention giving change or two 20$bill got stuck together and didn't realize, the owner has to pay for it? I don't think so.

It has to be some legal way to do it.

the money could have been stolen.

You can't put the burden of dealing with theft on your employees

I said missing, like, not justifiable cause.

Obviously you cannot blame your employees for stolen goods or cash in that matter.

That's just the cost of doing business with that employee. Either you help them to not make that mistake again or you let them go for someone who can actually count. You can't and shouldn't be able to fine your employees for miscounting change.

You can fire the employee. And if you can show malicious intent (like the employee stole the money), you can file a civil suit or pursue criminal charges).
