Check with your company’s attorney, but it sounds like involuntary servitude (on your part) to me. You can’t be forced to pay for the results of someone else’s actions. (Didn’t some people in Massachusetts complain about something very similar a couple of hundred years ago? Something about throwing a tea party for the king?)
