Kuehne and Nagel Drinks Logistics Ltd v Deadkin and Others: EAT 17 May 2011

EAT CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT – Implied term/ variation/construction of term
UNLAWFUL DEDUCTION FROM WAGES
Agreement between drivers as employer provided that time for breaks should be calculated by reference to planned hours rather than hours actually worked. The Employment Tribunal held that drivers’ breaks should be calculated more by reference to hours worked. Employment Tribunal construction flawed. Appeal allowed.
