Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Is it proper for a contacting employee to be shorted money on a job when the customer refuses to pay full amount due to complaints of 'damages'? He has insurance, but for some reason it didn't cover that(according to his boss) And shouldn't his boss have given him the rest of his money from HIS account, so that only HE would be shorted, and not the employee? The boss has tried fixing the repairs to some extent, not sure of details, but it seems the insurance should have covered this AND he should have gotten the full amount when job was done.

If the contracting employee in question was an employee and NOT and independent contractor, then he should have been paid in full. If he was na independent contractor, that is another kettle of fish.
