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. Clearly there is nothing wrong with deducting PAYE contributions and the like. Secondly, it may be authorized by a term of employee's contract, provided that either the contract is in writing or the term in notified in writing to the employees before the deduction is made (s.13 (2)). Finally, it may be authorised by specific consent of the worker, signified in writing. To ensure fairness to the employee, the Act gives no effect to a "concept" or to "agreement" to a term allowing the deduction given after the events lending to it
