Hi all, we've been told that if we don't turn up at the Xmas party the money the company have spend on us will be deducted from our wages! I didn't think they could do this, but now I am thinking maybe they can?

What happened about the shift swaps?
Might have been courteous to let us know the result.Originally Posted by shortcrust

This company sounds terrible. Are they that stupid to book a place when theirs no confirmation of people going.

Your terms and conditions would need to allow this deduction to be made for it to be legal or you must have agreed to the deduction being made in writing prior to it being made. (Your terms & conditions are laid out in your contact of employment, and any Employee Handbook providing you have been given a copy of this, or directed to where it is on an intranet).
Have a look at https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/advisernet/work/pay/unauthorised-deductions-from-wages/ for details of how to fight any unauthorised deduction. Do consider using your local Citizens Advice to negotiate with your employer.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0 -
Ok thanks, this is what I thought. And yes I'm retraining in something else so I just have to bide my time, hopefully a few months.0
