If it's money you were responsible for and the only one in direct control over (like a cashier) in many states-yes. Usually 2 or 3 shortages over a certain small amount means termination.
An employer has a duty to inform the employee of an changes to the employment terms. If an employer is out on workers' compensation, and they are terminated, the employer has a duty to communicate that information to the employee and pay that employee any money they have due to them.
It is illegal for an employer or manager to count and get waitress' tip money. If the employer or manager collects these, employee can sue employer for theft.
If an employer has the agreement that the employee receives money for a health insurance savings account or some other plan, they can receive money. It is up to the employer whether they want to directly compensate the employee or provide insurance.
Nah man
This money cannot be added to the employee's wages as taxable income. This money is not theirs and should be reported to the police.
HELL NO, BY NO MEANS IS THAT LEGAL. On the contrary, a employee that is RESPONSIBLE for a cash float is LEGALLY obligated to make up their cash shortages to the employer. Obviously the better way to do this is to COMMUNICATE with each other, to get the shortage resolved. But in a strictly legal sense the shortage is a DEBT that the employee QWES to the employer. The legal test for this are the following set of questions..............Whose cash was it? Not the workers, but the employers. Who was responsible for it's safety? The worker. Ergo any shortages are the responsibility of the employee to make up. It depends. In the US, if withholding the cash will reduce your pay below minimum wage for the week, then no, they can't. But they CAN write you up or fire you for it, and many employees would prefer to pay the shortage rather than lose their job. That's assuming you are the only person who has access to your till.

the money an employer puts into a retirement fund or each employee
No. After an employee resigns, the money has to be either paid out to the employee or transferred to his new employer - as per the request of the employee
the money an employer puts into retirement fund for each employee
It is allowed to do this. However, that doesn't mean it is the most ethical. In some cases, the employer will take money out of the manager-on-duty's paycheck to compensate.
Not enough information is given. Withheld for WHAT reason?
