CHARGED £10 FOR FREE UNIFORM AFTER BEING FIRED

[spurs12345]

Basically was fired from my last job and when I left it was on bad terms. When I received my payslip through the post under where it says deductions they charged my £10 for the uniform which was free even though I gave it back to them. Can an employer do this?

You need to check the contract of employment. I think an employer has to gain consent before taking anything out of your pay (was advised this recently).

Didnt have a contract

probably not much you can do about it. Unless you want to ring them up and argue the toss.

What would any of you do?

For a tenner? In those circumstances? I'd walk away rather than get into any kind of (further) dispute with them.

I'd seethe for about two minutes, then decide I wasn't going to give it any more of my time, as it's only a tenner.
