Health inspections and fines

stacylorelle

I work for a restaurant chain and I'm looking for documentation, a regulation, litigation, etc. to provide some backup for a health inspections policy. In the past, the company has required the general manager to pay any fines that are incurred as a result of a failing health inspection. In all my past experience, such fines have been the employer's responsibility.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions of regs to look at to back this up? This would be similar to not allowing foodservers or managers to pay the restaurant back if the cash drawer was short.

Thanks
