    It would depend what was in a persons contract of employment. Have you checked this?

    There would need to be an existing signed agreement allowing the employer to simply dip into the wage and make this deduction or there would need to be a contractual provision permitting this, again subject to the employee being given a written copy of that contract (and agreeing to it).
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.
