    So minimum wage aside, that's quite acceptable then.

    What if it's not the contract of employment, but the contract for a parking permit? That's still between employer and employee.

    EDIT: And I used the "two weeks" as an extreme as that is the maximum "fine" a club can give a football player. Replace that with £100 if you wish :)
    The contract for the parking permit, if it allowed for deduction of wages, would then form part of the contract of employment.

    As said previously, any NHS worker would be insane to agree to such a thing.

    I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.

    That's as maybe, but we had a case here in recent months where someone had signed an agreement to be charged. I was wondering of the legality of that.

    So the NHS could say to its employees that if they want to park, they need to pay for a permit. Failure to display that permit can lead to a deduction of wages, and parking without paying for a permit can lead to dismissal

    EDIT: New employees of course. They can't do anything retroactively
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.
