Employers are generally free to establish HR procedures and policies and impose reasonable penalties on employees who violate those rules. In terms of company property that has been damaged, stolen, or lost by employees, however, employers may run into problems. Employers who want to deduct money from employees' wages to cover these types of monetary losses must consider state wage-payment laws. These laws control if and how employers can deduct fines or the cost of damaged, stolen, or lost property from employees' wages. In addition, many states require that employees' pay must not fall below the minimum wage.

The HR professionals at Management 2000, an Indiana PEO, provide the human resources help employers need to address these, and other human resource issues. With extensive experience and a vast array of HR management tools, the human resources consultants at Management 2000 develop specific payroll policies tailored to employers’ needs.
