A friend of mine is being threatened that she must pay a drawer shortage or be fired. The issue is that there is not actually a shortage. On her POS system, employees must manually push a button to select cash or credit. She accidentally pressed the cash option for a credit purchase. The company has the money, the drawer is just off. I’ve worked in retail management. Generally when this happens, you file a shortage report and the error is fixed. No money is lost so it isn’t a big deal. It’s annoying, but not the end of the world. My question is, can the employer force her to pay? I know in Indiana, employers cannot dock pay for drawer shortages. To get around this, the employer is telling my friend that she must pay out of pocket. Is this enforceable?

During the meeting, my colleague, Jenn, and I were berated and blamed for issues we were not aware of in front of everyone. I feel it is imperative to address the issues that need attention at abc. I would like to highlight a few points, which I believe are vital…
