No. This is illegal for the restaurant to do. Most employees allow their employers to demand payment for this problem. Many restaurants have a 'dine and dash' fund where the employees pay into a pool. This is voluntary but isn't required or needed. According to the Alberta Employment Standards Fact Sheet (http://employment.alberta.ca/SFW/999.html) (CLICK ON PAYMENT OF EARNINGS)
"There are certain deductions that an employer is not permitted to make even if they have the employee personally authorize the deduction in writing. They include deductions for: faulty workmanship, or cash shortages or loss of property if an individual other than the employee had access to the cash or property."
"Faulty workmanship is given a broad interpretation by
Employment Standards and can be defined as a failure by
an employee to adequately perform their duties because
of an accident, unforeseen circumstance, carelessness or
incompetence. Examples of faulty workmanship include
accidental damage to an employer's vehicle or
equipment, "walkouts" in a bar, breakage in a restaurant
and mistakes in production. "
According to this...your employer CANNOT legally make you pay for a dine and dash. It is the restaurant's responsibility to pay for this. This includes breakage as well.
