Week-In-Hand
My grandaughters employer wants to take £100 a week off her for the next 2 weeks because they have just realised that when she first started there 9 months ago she did not work a week in hand, 2 questions, (1) Can they take money out of her wages without her say-so and (2) If they can, can't she offer a lower amount or not agree to it at all.

Two questions:
1) Is it detailed as part of T&Cs of employment, as perhaps identified in the Employees Handbook or other info published by the employer for the employees?
2) if not 1), is everyone else (who is paid weekly) paid a 'week in hand', in that it could be construed as an implied term of her employment?

i am guessing that as its only for 2 weeks that she only owes £200 - if that is her weekly wage, then taking £100 of it 2 weeks on the run is going to leave her very short - that is half her whole wage!
if she does owe them the money then i am sure if she presents those facts to them they will agree to spread the cost out to something manageable like £25 a week
