Summary
In Colorado, employers cannot legally deduct wages for stolen funds unless the employee is directly responsible. Firing an employee for refusing to pay such deductions could be considered wrongful termination. If you have evidence, such as text messages, you can file a complaint with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. Consider consulting an employment attorney for issues related to wrongful termination and wage theft.Full Conversation

Hi Isabella,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It's important to know that in Colorado, your employer cannot legally make you pay for stolen money unless you were directly responsible for the loss. Also, firing you for this reason could be seen as wrongful termination.
Do you have any written or recorded proof of your boss's statement?
Yes I do
Hi Isabella,
Thank you for the information. Since you have proof of your boss's statement:
- In Colorado, it's illegal for an employer to deduct money from your paycheck for stolen funds unless you were directly responsible.
