Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Can my employer make me pay a customer's service bill ? I arranged for a customer to meet with a mechanic and an independent business transaction took place. When the work performed was unsatisfactory to the customer an attorney sent a letter on the customer's behalf threatening a law suit. My employer responded to this letter by accepting responsibility and the service department repaired the damages. Now my employer is making me pay the bill because I introduced the customer to the mechanic and brokered the transaction. Is this legal?
