Pain Points: Cash Register Shortage

You are General Manager of a bar and getting ready to close for the night. After looking at the receipts, you notice that the amount of money in the cash register is short. There was only one worker assigned to that register for the night, so you question them about the shortage. The worker denies any wrongdoing and is unsure why there is a cash shortage in the drawer. Determined to make up for the missing cash in the drawer, you’re wondering, can you take it from the worker’s tips or from their paycheck?
