Deductions from wages
Under legislation only certain deductions can be made from an employee's salary without prior written consent or if it is provided for in their contract.
Whilst consideration is already made for this in the standard contract, some employers may prefer to specifically state in the contract the circumstances that may give rise to deductions.
The Company may, at any time during or at the termination of your employment, deduct from your salary and/or any other sums due to you, any money owed by you to The Company, including but not limited to:
- any overpayment of salary, bonus or expenses,
- any outstanding amounts due for repayment to The Company, advances or similar arrangements between you and The Company,
- the cost of repairing any damage to or replacing any property belonging to The Company where this is the result of any fault or carelessness on your part,
- losses due to your negligence or carelessness,
- unauthorised use of company credit cards.
