This question is regarding the laws in Idaho. If a person is a bartender and their cash register is short, can the owner legally take the difference out of your paycheck in the state of Idaho? It sounds illegal to me....
Here is the scenario.... I have a friend who is a bartender. He worked 10 days in the two week period.... his Register was short about $90.00 in that time. His boss took the amount he was short out of his pay check...Is this legal??? I told him I thought it was illegal to do so, because if it were legal, wouldn't Wal-Mart and K-Mart being doing the same type of thing?? Can anyone help me?

Idaho employers rip many people off and they lose in the employers that is in complaints.

YES, they can deduct the shortage. BUT, that deduction cannot bring you below the federal or state minimum wage for the pay period. (If it is $5.15 - federal minimum - then the deduction can't bring you below that $5.15/hr.)
