Post Body

This is in Florida. I started a new retail sales commission based job. Before the start of business each day they require a full inventory count. On my 3rd day I asked why did inventory every day and was told if any inventory is missing the cost is charged to all employees that worked the previous day and deducted from their commission pay.

Is that legal?

I informed them that it was not legal and to not make deductions from my check and was conveniently terminated at the end of my shift that same day.

I'm assuming I'm correct and they have been stealing from their employees. I'm not planning on any legal action.
