This highlights one of the key differences between owners and employees.
Employees are not nominally liable for mistakes they make while employed, excepting things like gross negligence or malicious behavior.
If an employee makes a mistake, forcing them to work "off the clock" to fix that mistake is a violation of labor law in pretty much every jurisdiction of which I am aware.
An employee could volunteer to do so, but frankly, as a "boss" myself, I would neither expect nor accept such a gesture.
Mistakes happen. It's part of the cost of doing business, and if you're a competent businessman, you factor that in. What I expect is that that employee won't make the same mistake again.
But I have and will never expect someone to work without being paid as agreed.
