Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Payback of cash shortages
Can an employee in a cash handling position be required to reimburse an employer for cash shortages?
I was always under the impression that the employer must be able to prove dishonesty or gross negligence.

No. The employer may not charge employees for cash shortages.
