r/YouShouldKnow - YSK if you have a minimum wage job, the employer cannot deduct money from checks for uniforms, missing cash, stolen meals, wrong deliveries, damaged products, etc. You absolutely have to get paid a minimum wage.

You should at least need a paystub showing that they deducted money or didn't pay you minimum wage.https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/faq/workersI remember working at Five Guys and a $100 went missing on one of the tills during my shift.The store manager demanded we all equally paid out of pocket or our next check to cover the cost of that missing bill.Well there was that giant poster thing of all the workers rights and I found one thing saying how that’s very illegal.The store manager had one of those angry shocked reaction after that and didn’t make us pay… however he treated me like garbage the rest of the time I was there.Yep. That's exactly what that poster is there for.
