There were different punishments for different wrong doings. The most common was the easiest which was being sacked- that was for things like being late. If you were drowsy you were taken by the legs and dipped in some water in a cistern and then sent back to work. Or the other way of being out of a job, was also being out of a life, some people's apron, clothes or hair got stuck in the machine and it pulled them in (they would eventually die). Sometimes if their finger got court they would loose it or the skin would be pulled off (this also happend with childrens arms or legs).
