    And it appears my employers do have the right from my googling.

    Wait - are you saying you were somehow able to Google to find out whether you'd agreed that your company could make non-statutory deductions? Or have you just Googled, found a generic legal webpage that may not even apply in your specific circumstances, and taken the advice from that instead?

    The advice here has been pretty clear (and helpful) - check to see if there's anything in place between you and your employer, that would permit them to make that deduction. Post #6, from a (very helpful) retired employment lawyer, effectively told you to follow that course. Reading back through your posts, it appears that you haven't done that.

    You either want help, or you don't. But please, start by helping yourself a little.

    I am always this rude to people that say they help when really they do not, if anything hinder. Always. My question has not been answered by anyone except me and my reasearch elsewhere. I conceed good points have been made and guidence given but the answer has not. To those people im gratefull for their effort. How much more do i want? The chuffing answer. Thought that was obvious. And as for learning to type, this is a skill i possess. However im blessed with small smartphone and fat fingers so your point there is mute too. But well done for trying.


    That is blatantly untrue.

    You have been given valid answers to your questions.

    The answer to your question HAS been provided and it was "it depends on what your contract of employment says". Only you can read that unless you want to post it up so go and read it and see what it says.

    Sadly thats not the answer. An answer yes. Bu the answer , no.

    It is the answer to your question.

    Unless you post all the details of your contract and your company policies then people on here can give you no more of a specific answer.

    Thats exactly what im saying the site i found was a legal question and answer page based in the uk. The senario was the same. Why would i trust it? Cos it cited cases previous and made a reasoned arguement even though my findings were not what i hoped. Sounds fairly well thought out and viable doesnt it? Regardless of your opiniin of other users, i know where im putting my faith.

    Oh dear.

    Not really got the hang of questions and answers it seems.

    Taking someone else's answer from a similar scenario does not mean that that answer would necessarily apply to you.

    Lost cause, wiogs. Pay it no heed.
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Who is embarrassing themself?

    From https://www.gov.uk/understanding-your-pay/deductions-from-your-pay

    "Your employer isn’t allowed to make deductions unless:
    • it’s required or allowed by law, eg National Insurance, income tax or student loan repayments
    • you agree in writing
    • your contract says they can
    • there’s a statutory payment due to a public authority
    • you haven’t worked due to taking part in a strike or industrial action
    • there’s been an earlier overpayment of wages or expenses
    • it’s a result of a court order"
    Be told... ;)
