Hi, asking on behalf of my colleague.
We work in a small specialist shop and we are the only employees. The business is owned by a Mother and Daughter. My colleague has been employed here as shop manager since July 2013.
She was called into a meeting in July this year and informed that they could no longer afford to pay her a manager's wage so cut her hours to part-time and her hourly rate to minimum wage. ACAS told her our employers could do this as she had been employed by them for less than two years.
The changes are due to start in September. In the meantime my colleague has found another full-time job and handed in her notice. She is due to leave mid-September.
My colleague has taken 10 days holiday this year but at the time of her leaving she will have only accrued 6.5 days holiday, so our employers will deduct 3.5 days pay.
I thought this would come from her final leaving salary (the lower rate) but they are going to take it from her August pay which is at the manager's rate.
Surely this is incorrect?
I would be really grateful if anyone could offer any advice on this.
TIA
Sorry this was so long winded, just wanted to give the full picture.
