Accidental Damage Charged to Employee?

Hi,
My boyfriend is a labourer and works for a shop fitting company. A few months ago he hit a roller shutter door with a forklift by accident. A few weeks later the company started taking £30 out of his wages every week and the overall bill is £2400.
They did not ask/tell him about this, they just started doing it. He has checked his contract and there is nothing in it that says he's liable to pay, surely they have insurance for these types of things?
If anyone's got any advice on what to do about this (or if we can't!) that would be great.

Employment Tribunal. Unlawful deduction of wages - because it is not in the contract and he did not agree to itYou might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0

Authority to make deductions can't be applied retrospectively, so they can't introduce a contract variance to permit this deduction...Discount Tobacco & Confectionery v WilliamsonDon’t be a can’t, be a can.0

To add to all the above advice, did they offer him the damaged roller shutter to take home? after all they are trying to sell him it indirectly.Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0
