Lawson West’s expert employment solicitors and lawyers have significant experience of claims
where employers fail to pay their employees, or have paid them less than they are entitled to within their contract
of employment, meaning they may have a claim for an unlawful deduction of wages.
The deduction will be unlawful if any of the following applies:-
It is not always considered as unlawful if there was prior agreement to remove the amount
either in the form of a contractual agreement and/or where you have been overpaid or where you have taken part in a
strike or industrial action.
Wages can be defined as:-
A claim for unlawful deduction must be made when the deduction has taken place and not as a
result of a threat to remove sums. Any claim for wages must be for a specific and quantifiable sum of money. If the
payment is uncertain, and not quantifiable (or is a general sum claimed by way of damages), then the claim will not
be able to be made in the Employment Tribunal, but will need to be brought in the County Court, or High
Court instead.
