My husband is a courier and technically self employed. His company have recently introduced a system whereby if you are off sick/absent they take £50 out of their wages. Now, they did put this in writing and the drivers signed it which suggests to me they have agreed.
are they allowed to do this? my hubby had to take a day off to look after our son as childcare fell through and he doesnt get paid if he is not working anyway so seems a little unfair to be "charged" as well especially as it was unavoidable. also i would think it is quite dangerous to have a sick driver.
