Re: Repayment of training costs , threatened to take from salary
Pay Suspenpended?
I would write back to them that their is no such thing as pay suspended, your either paid or your not, either way your entitled to a wage slip showing all or zero pay, along with total deductions, per payment period - That is a statutory right under section 8 employment rights act 1996 - failure to provide said pay slip is a breach of your statutory right under section 8. Also unauthroised deductions from wages are also a breach of section 13 of the employment rights act 1996 and deductions made that results in your earnings for the period being less than minimum wage for the total hours worked that period amounts to a breach of national minimum wage laws as no amount of deductions should leave an employee with a salary for that period below the minimum wage for hours worked that period! And on top of that, any training fees recuperated where the terms on the training agreement are invalid/unenforceable, amount to an unauthorised deduction under section 13 of said act!
The agreement for training fees was invalid on the basis that it failed to state in the terms a true estimated of the total cost of training - Also at no point during my employment did i sign any training agreement to make any repayment of any training fees, in fact, despite many attempts to force me to sign one, i refused point blank to do so! Therefore you do not have my authorisation to make any deductions for training fees.
If all sums deducted from my final wage are not repaid to myself within 14 days, i shall commence legal action to reclaim monies unlawfully deducted from my wages, and compensation for financial detriment due to the financial hardship i have had to endure due non payment of wages owed to me! have coursed me! Note that such legal action can result in a court order against the company and bailiffs visiting company property to seize company assets to the value of the court order (said value of court order along with legal and bailiff costs).
Best to take this to small claims court, as its cheaper fees wise, well should still be cheaper!
