If my employer requires company credit card receipts for all charges, can they decudct from my paycheck if I don’t supply a receipt?
Is this legal? I have never had this happen before; if it was charged on a company credit card the amount was approved and not questioned.

If there was some agreement in place--such as reflected in an employee handbook or memo to employees, which employees would be considered to have agreed to by continuing to work there after the announcement of the policy--prior to the deductions being made, then yes, so long as the deductions do not take you below minimum wage. If there was no evidence of an agreement (i.e. no policy announcement) prior to the deductions, then no.
