Yard incident

sounds to me, he is cash poor. if he had the money, and that's a relatively new truck, he'd get it fixed ASAP.

 

you'll owe him some crappy runs most likely.

 

I'd tell him to blow it out his ###.

Its a #### up. It happens. Cost of doing business. Dunno about where you live but where I am, it is illegal for an employer to charge an employee money for a mistake.

 

For the record, it is illegal to garnishee or take money from your paycheck for anything you might have done at your workplace.
He can fire you, he can tell all other future employers why he fired you. If he can prove you did it intentionally, which you did not, he could sue you in a court of law. But he can't take it out of your check.
This happens to be in Massachusetts, but almost all states have the same laws.
From this labor law website:
When can my employer dock my pay? - MassLegalHelp

The only deductions your employer can take from your pay are deductions he or she must take and deductions you have agreed to. Your employer must have your agreement in writing. Your employer cannot decide to take other deductions out of your pay for any other reason.

Sometimes employers take money out of your pay to pay themselves back for cash shortages, or property damage.
But this is not legal.

 

I am certain the laws in Ontario are even more strict and in your favor than here in the states.
