My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Tennessee
This has never happened to me personally, well I have been shorted before, but I have known of some people who had their table walk out before paying (which is stealing) and my boss making them pay to cover the cost of the bill which usually leaves them with nothing for the whole night even though the restaurant could easily cover it (especially since in TN server wage is $2.13 an hour). Is there any labor law or other law that would technically prohibit this? If you work at a store and someone robs the cash register you don't have to pay to cover it. Also, who would I go about reporting these incidents to (This is a nationwide restaurant but we are a franchise of it)?
