  • Employee leaves without notice

    Hi I have just had an employee refuse to come to work without notice.
    Also would owe us money for training which is stated in her contract if she leaves before a year after completing training.

    Where do I stand with paying her money for wages that she has wasn't over the last 20 days?

    Many thanks.

    I believe that if the signed contract clearly states that she is liable for payment for training and there is a specific sum mentioned then you should provide a payslip showing this deduction and reason.

    Otherwise you have to pay her, and accrued holiday pay

      Whereas I believe you need an express written agreement which gives you the right to deduct the fees from the final wages to protect you from a claim for unlawful deductions. [MENTION=51026]Ula[/MENTION] might have a more definite answer

        Would you really want an employee working for you under these conditions?

        Just consider how much damage the employee could do to your business!

          It's happened to me a couple of times and although I do pay them for the hours owing I deduct the cost of covering the shifts by having to employ someone else. They then get any balance remaining.

            If your employee has left without giving and working their notice then you are only due to pay salary up until their last working day, plus payment for any accrued but untaken holiday.

            In regard to the issue of the training course can you post up the clause in the contract that relates to this please plus in the contract did you have any clause relating to deductions from wages if so please can you post that as well. Any specific company names need to be redacted!

              Seems quite a complicated topicI

              You need to consider just the legal Employer / employee considerations plus the reputational ones. Not sure where the balance lies?
