The Bank Tellers Fix Kit
Built for bank tellers.
Teller pay leaks in minutes and in drawer counts: balancing after you've clocked out, a short break that wasn't paid, a referral bonus left out of your overtime rate, a shortage taken out of your check. Each one is small. Over a year of shifts they add up, and they are all things federal wage rules speak to. This kit gives you the rule, your own record, and the words to ask.

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 7 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Drawer shortages taken out of your paycheck
The other side owes it- Check your stubs and any signed policy for shortage deductions.
- Under federal wage law, an employer can't make you pay back a cash-drawer shortage if it drops your pay below the minimum wage or cuts into overtime. The U.S. DOL lists a cashier repaying a drawer shortage as an example of an illegal deduction for a minimum-wage worker (VERIFIED: U.S. DOL Fact Sheet #16).
- Many states are stricter than federal law. Check your state labor department.
- Write down each deduction: date, amount, your hours and pay that week.
- Ask HR in writing for the policy and the basis for each deduction.
Your part: Send the question and decide next steps.
Message to HR: Please send me the written policy on cash-drawer shortages and an explanation of the deductions on my stubs for [DATES] totaling $[AMOUNT]. My hours those weeks were [HOURS]. [NAME], [EMPLOYEE #], [BRANCH]
Keep a copy of every balancing sheet you sign.
What this kit can't decide for you: The Wage and Hour Division, your state agency or a court decides. We never say your employer broke the law.
That's 1 of 7. The other 6 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.
