So I work at a subway in Minnesota for context
Hello ****, thanks for reaching out. Could you please provide more details about the legal issue you're facing at your workplace in Subway?
Me along with three other people worked yesterday. This morning our manager has discovered we are * dollars short in the cash register. My manager said she will have you take out money from everyone who worked yesterday directly from our paycheck. Can she do this?
In Minnesota, an employer generally cannot make deductions directly from an employee's wages due to cash shortages, unless:
- The employee gave prior written consent.
- The employee was found guilty or held liable in court.
- The employee voluntarily handed over the money.
It's important to consult a labor attorney for proper advice.

Even at an at will job like subway?
Yes, even at an "at-will" job like Subway. The Minnesota law regarding wage deductions applies to all employees, regardless of the nature of their employment. If you think your rights are being violated, consider contacting a labor attorney.
