Can your boss charge you for mistakes at work?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) June 9th, 2010

In Alberta, Canada someone I know was charged, by her boss, $50.00 for a phone card that was accidentally rung in..She’s the manager and the owner was nearby and told her that she was to pay for the phone card that she can’t possibly use.

She paid the $50.00 and I wonder if she should have… since the boss makes mistakes against her… like not paying overtime and breaking promises and such…

She refuses to quit because she is scared to find work elsewhere…she’s 61 and has health conditions brought on by her boss, like working 9am – 1am 55 days straight without breaks or days off…

What should I do…? I already got in trouble for expressing my anger at them to a social worker…
