How do airlines deal with a pilot who goes around or aborts a take-off? I assume a go-around isn't much of big deal except for extra delay, but doesn't an aborted take-off potentially cost the airline a lot of money, particularly if brakes or tires are damaged?

Do airlines usually give pilots the benefit of the doubt and not hassle them about such things, or do they have to fill out a pile of paperwork and prove that they did the right thing, or what? Or is it simply a non-event from the airline's viewpoint?
