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.
If $50 is 20% of your daily sales, why do you have an employee at all?
No you can’t deduct that from their wages, unless you want to have bigger problems with the state.
Focus on getting your revenue up and not the $50.
