Unlawful Deductions

Our panel of carefully selected Specialist Solicitors are always here to support and assist when needed.

What are Unlawful Deductions?

The Unlawful Deduction of wages occurs when a worker or employee has not received the full amount or has been paid less than the agreed wages. This involves an actual deduction of wages, not merely a proposal to deduct them.

Unlawful deductions can take many forms, example being:

  • Illegal deduction from wages in the UK occurs when a worker or employee is not correctly paid, either through underpayment or non-payment, irrespective of their contract type
  • The ERA 1996 provides legal protection, preventing unauthorised deductions from wages, including late payments defined in employment contracts
  • Examples of illegal deductions include unpaid bonuses, commissions, untaken holiday pay, and delayed wage payments
