I am a bartender in FL and I had a table walk out on me one night. I understand this falls under Theft of Services. I can not find any information on FL Theft of Services Law. Now my employer is holding me responsible and making me cover the amount that was accrued by the table. Is this legal?
Answer
First, you are in no way criminally responsible. Arguably, you could be civilly responsible if you were negligent in not watching the table for example. That said, the restaurant usually covers this as a cost of doing business. Also, if there is anything in your employment contract, if any, then that might also answer your question.
