    And she did the right thing by asking her employer what it is for. Let us know when she gets an answer.

    "deduction after tax"
    interesting  and a 'manual' entry   rather than the  typical  automatic attirubtions / choices in  typical payroll systems  (  e.g. 'advance  recovery  etc)

    really need ot  wait for the answer from management/ payroll  , as  even the Unions  are ulikely to intervene before the individual has made   that request

    I understood that legally only "standard deductions" (tax/stamp/pensions (if on over £15,000 PA) could be taken without consent and agreement, ive not been overpaid and all our tax codes are correct

    £13 when im on £9.50/hr is 90 minutes pay to me

    That's not entirely true. Payroll errors can also be deducted without agreement. And "agreeement" may be a contractual clause that she signed when she (or you - not clear who is posting here) started and doesn't recall. At the moment it is simply speculation - as others have pointed out, until you have an answer to the question it is pointless trying to speculate whether it is lawful or not.

    Anything to do with this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6521788/dro-and-owed-tax-owed-nat-ins#latest
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    this cant be a payrol error in at least 5 cases can it, but not 3 others...

    If that £9.50 is gross, and you're at least 21, that's below the minimum wage of £11.44 an hour.
