Go the the labour relations board for sure. They have to pay outstanding wages. Furthermore, an employer cannot hold an employee responsible for any costs incurred or damages done by the employee while working.

For example, a mechanic working at a dealership hits a car on the lot and does $3,000 damage. The dealership is responsible for the $3,000, not the mechanic.

If the mechanic did it on purpose (he was planning on quitting and decided to go out with a bang), then the employer would have to sue the employee in court to get the $3,000 - they'd still have to pay out any owed wages.

Tell your friend not to let this guy get away with anything and to make sure he gets his wages and doesn't pay a cent of the fine.
