Incidentally, that came from typing "employment law deductions from salary" into Google. It's the top result.0

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"

So i have a company car which i overstayed in a car park which takes photos on enetry and exit. So we know it was an overstay. 45 quid charge which has been paid by my employer. They emailed and wrote to me to ask if they can deduct it from my wages. I werent up for that cos if it were my car i doubt id be paying anyway. Can work ask me for it? Ive taken zero ation yet. And theyve asked me again if tbey can take it this month.
Emphasis added - yes, I read your first post, and it says they want to deduct it. The law says they can't. What planet are you on?0 -

It is amusing though to see someone rail against those who provide pertinent information.
Some people are beyond help.0 -

No, the law doesn't. Re-read the passage I copied, from a website run by the UK Government, and tell me which category it falls under that would permit them to deduct it?0 -

May well be. A discusion regarding footbal would be much more suited to a forum based on guesses and opinions-such as this one. I hope they do win something.0
