My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: North Carolina
Ok so I work in a restaurant and whenever a mistake is made (wrong button pressed, customer returns food, walk out, customer claims food is missing etc) the employee is forced to pay for it.
When I say pay for it I do not mean that it is deducted from their wages or their tips I mean that before they are allowed to leave work they have to "purchase" the food/materials that were wasted and check out like a normal customer. Is this legal?
I know that docking pay to below minimum wage is illegal. However I feel that this is in a grey area where I'm not exactly sure of what my rights are since it's not docking pay but rather being forced to spend your money at your job.
