EAT UNLAWFUL DEDUCTION FROM WAGES
The Respondent deducted sums from the Claimant’s pay during her notice period in respect of incapacity benefit which it assumed she would be receiving. However, before the Tribunal the Respondent did not establish any statutory or contractual requirement or authority for the deductions (see section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996). Appeal allowed.
