Just wondering if anyone can help me out on this.
DH started new job, every week they take just over £30 out of his wages for his "holiday fund" so that when he if off he gets paid? Is this right? He's not self employed, they are his employer, surely they should be covering his holidays? Anytime he's asked about it, they've said everywhere does this but neither of us have ever worked anywhere that does this. He has told them several times that he doesn't want them to take this money out, and if needs be he just won't take any time off (he lost his job during lockdown, nonincome for several months and now is in a much much lower paid job while playing catch up for lost months so this money is a big deal for us). Twice he has asked for it back, and they pay it back the next week but then take it out of this weeks wages so it cancels out again. Some weeks its much higher than others depending on what he has worked and what has been repaid previous weeks. For instance he was paid back 3 weeks worth of holiday fund, but then the next week was charged 4 weeks holiday fund to "keep the fund topped up"
Can anyone shed any light on this?
The most its been was 130 out, but mostly its 30. Having said that, we use 30 of diesel a week to get him to and from work, and with coronavurus we are living paycheck to paycheck so we can't wait a week or 2 to get it back only to have it taken off us again. Essentially we won't get it all back until he stops working for them?
