When I looked at the sales reports today, I noticed $50 worth of discounts. I matched the transaction time with the CCTV and caught her red handed applying all the discounts. $50 is a lot to us since this is 20% of our average daily sales.

I have no choice but to fire her now. Business is slow and we’re also a new business. Has anyone dealt with this in the past and am I legally allowed to deduct this from her final paycheck (Texas)? I know Reddit is the last place to go to for legal advice.

    And this is why everyone hates their job. Did you give the employee the discount as a benefit knowing they would probably not be able to actually use it at your store? If you intended on them using it what does it matter if they used it or their friends? Perhaps if you can’t afford to make good on a benefit you offer, you shouldn’t offer it in the first place.
