deductions
pl. n. (in employment law) Sums deducted from an employee’s wages. The Employment Rights Act 1996 provides strict rules on what can be so deducted. Permitted deductions include those for income tax, National Insurance, and pension contributions (for employees who have agreed to be part of an employer’s pension scheme). Deductions are also allowed when there has been an overpayment of wages or expenses in the past, when there has been a strike and wages are withheld, or when there is a court order, such as an order from the Child Maintenance Service or a court attachment of earnings order. There are special rules for those in retail employment. |
