    It will be noted that the power to make the deduction need not be in the actual contract. It is sufficient if the employer has notified the worker in writing of the term. Thus an implied or oral term will suffice, provided that the notification is given to the worker individually.

    Even if the employer does have the right to make a deduction, he must still show the deduction is justified - Fairfield Ltd v Skinner

    I'm not sure on the sum but I would imagine between £500-£800

    Gross pay is approx £2800 per month

    Thanks, so that means they can't just sack you if you decline to agree, but also means that if they do it you won't go below minimum wage.
