Yes, it cannot be deducted from a paycheck, but it may be deducted from an expense reimbursement check. The law does not give employees a right to reimbursement (it would be legal to require them to bear their own expenses), so reimbursement is subject to the employer's terms; those terms can include that reimbursement is reduced by any charges or costs the employee caused the employer to incur. More generally, when A owes B money but B caused A to incur a loss, A can offset that loss vs. what it owes B.
