I was working in a pizza shop as a store manager, one day my boss come and asked me where was the order and I said I did not know coz another guy was taking the order by the time I was counting the money coz we are closing. He said I took the money and fired me on the spot and did not pay me at all.
1) Coz he did not pay me for the week, could I apply for wind up his company as a debt holder?
2) I worked as causal there, is that means he can fire me any time as he wanted?
3) The other guy who took the order was under training, that's why I gave him full of power to handle the transacation, do I have to take the respositble on the money matter if the company money was lost by the end of the night? So he can not paying me and used them (wage) as a recover.?

If an employer fires you,they have to pay any wages owed to you plus any other compensation (vacation pay,etc.) on the spot.
AS a manager,you are responsible for those under you and the money.
Your boss has to prove you took the money,but you might be able to get your job back-talk to the state or Federal Dept. of Labor.
You could possibly sue for Wrongfull Termination if your boss can't prove you took the money.

I don't know if he could use your wages to cover the loss . But I do know it was your fault the money was lost if you were the manager , this sentence makes no sense :
The other guy who took the order was under training, that's why I gave him full of power to handle the transacation
why would you give a trainee full power while you were responsible for his actions , after training you are no longer responsible to a certain extent , while in training everything he does reflects back to you . the bottom line is that the money was lost while you were in charge , and unless you had a solution he had to fire someone

Seems to me that a week's worth of wages would equate to more than a lost pizza order. If he's not willing to pay you your owed salary, minus the lost order, then he's cheating you, not the other way around. Take him to court if he refuses to pay you.
