Can an employer deduct payments...?

I worked for a florist(1-800-flowers) for mothers day. I did 204 deliveries over a 5 day span. He only paid me for 202. And in addition to that I was deducted pay for two deliveries the customers claimed they didnt receive. They showed up as order numbers on my checkstub followed by a negative amount being deducted. One was a 4 dollar deduction(i got paid four dollars a delivery). The other was a deduction for 89.99$. When the customers are not home i was instructed to leave the flowers at their door. I have no idea what happened to be honest because my employer wont call me back to discuss this. But all i can think of is maybe someone stole their flowers or the customer simply lied to get a refund. At any rate, am I responsible to pay full price for the flowers? Is there anything i can do? I feel cheated and that my employer is skimming of the top because I was temporary help for the holiday.

If your boss specificly instructed you to just leave the arrangement without signature you are not responsible for the loss, I owned a small delivery bussiness a while back and hired temps for holidays but I always instructed them to leave the packages with neighbors or bring them back since they were expensive liquors and such. If I were you I would personnaly go and talk to the mo fo and get my money, you earned it man. |

When you signed on to do this temp job, did you have to sign any type of contract or paper work aside from normal tax forms? If so, I'd very carefully read those or request a copy of them from the florist. If there's nothing in there about it, then it's illegal. Missing deliveries and things of that nature are just the cost of doing business. It shouldn't come out of your pocket! |

As you were told to leave the deliveries at the door, why should you be responsible for them going missing ? |
