employment law
After reading thoroughly the supposed case of Harry v Gannet Ltd. I found that the relative law is the Wages Act 1986. " The Act provides for a remedy inspect of unlawful deductions from wages, with special provisions for retail employment; (NM. Selwyn, Selwyn's Law of Employment, 10th Edition, pg. 512).Through the above we can understand that the employer has no right to deduct any amount from employees wages. In our case the Gannet Ltd. not authorized to subtract the fifty pounds per month from Harry's wage.According to (5.13(1)) a deduction from the company to the wage of an employee is unlawful unless it is authorized in one of these ways.First the deduction may be authorized by statute.
