Frequently Asked Questions

Can my employer take money from my pay for a register shortage?

It depends on your state and how the pay was reduced. Some states limit or bar deductions for shortages, and a deduction cannot cut pay below minimum wage under federal law.

What if I signed a form agreeing to cover shortages?

A signed form does not always make a deduction lawful. Many states still limit what can be taken from wages.

Does it matter if several people shared the drawer?

It can. Charging one worker for a shortage that others could have caused may raise problems under state wage rules.

What evidence helps a shortage deduction claim?

Pay stubs, cash out sheets, write ups, messages about the shortage and any signed policy help show what was taken and why.

How far back can I claim wrongful deductions?

Deadlines depend on your state and the type of claim. Federal wage claims generally must be filed within two years, or three if the violation was willful.

Does YesLawyer help with shortage deduction claims in every state?

YesLawyer connects people with lawyers across the country, though state and case eligibility apply. Whether your claim can be taken depends on your state and the facts of your case.
