I work at a banquet facility where a wedding was held and when the bill was paid the deposit was not deducted, she was fine with getting a check 3 days later for the amount not deducted. the managers decided to give her a gift certificate and took the money for it out of my paycheck. Is that ok?

I am missing something. Why are they making you pay the customer? Did you do something to make them unhappy?
Regardless of why they are give the customer the money, the answer is no. They cannot dock your pay and give it to the customer. Ask they they return it immediately.
If they don't return it you can take it up with whatever PA agency handles fair employment practices.

Unless you signed a contract that gave rights to your employer to do just that, it's highly unethical!! From what I gather, you seem to not have anything to do with the payment of the wedding from the start, and it is only correct that you do not have anything to do with it after. What the managers should have done, was deduct it from their own paycheck to satisfy their customer. They should not only make their customers happy but the people who work for them as well, aka you.
I suggest you go back to your employment contract and see if it stipulates that action, if not, you should either quit or report it to your labor office (provided you have substantial proof of the whole affair)
Good luck

Let me see if I get this right. THey CHARGE a deposit, and then forget to deduct this money ALREADY RECEIVED from the final bil, thus BILLING the customer TWICE.
Now, then the company REFUNDS the amount of the TWICE BILLED amount and deducts it from YOUR PAYCHECK????
THere is absolutely NO REASON for this. Unless YOU are the one who made the error, but regardless, the company still gets TWICE THE DEPOSIT!
As stated above, unless there is something in your contract to the contrary, this is outright robbery.
