Legal Question in Employment Law in California

If you mean can they make you pay for losses or damages, yes if it was criminal conduct or 'gross negligence'. Not for mere errors. They can always fire you. In general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice, other than for illegal discrimination, harassment or retaliation under the ADA disability, Civil Rights [age, race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc], Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy. If they improperly withhold anything from your check, or if they retaliate against you for complaining about pay 'shortage', you can either file a lawsuit or aclaim with the Labor Commissioner. If serious about doing so, and you are in SoCal, feel free to contact me.
