"However damage done by said employee while performing his or her job is not deductible by law." Wrong, depends on what state the work is performed in, the only thing that has to be proved for a legal charge-back is negligence. Example.......weekly safety meeting is given regarding walking in attics, having 3 points of contact, what to step on, what not to step on, adequate lighting. Employee signs that he attended the meeting, next day he falls through the attic of a subs house because he stepped on a can-light thinking it was a rafter because his batteries died in his light. Employee gets charged back. This is only 1 example of many, there are also many situations where it would be illegal to c/b so you should really know the labor laws of the state you work in whether employee or employer.
