As previously explained, generally no. Items which would be considered to be for the benefit or convenience of the employer, and cannot be deducted if it would cause your salary to be reduced below the minimum wage, are: Uniforms required by the employer that can only be worn on the job (including required safety equipment such as hard hats, boots, and gloves; Tools used in your work; Compensation for damages to the employer's property by the employee or any other individuals; Compensation for financial losses due to clients/customers not paying bills; and, Compensation for theft of the employer's property by the employee or other individuals. Employees may not be required to pay for any of the cost of such items if, by so doing, their wages would be reduced below the required minimum wage or overtime compensation. This is true even if an economic loss suffered by the employer is due to your own negligent actions. For more information, see our site's page on deductions from pay.
