DEDUCTIONS FROM PAY AGREEMENT
1) If you are overpaid for any reason, the total amount of the overpayment will normally be deducted from your next payment but if this would cause hardship, arrangements may be made for the overpayment to be recovered over a longer period.
2) A minimum of 30 minutes break must be taken during a shift which is longer than 4 hours. This break time will be deducted from your hours worked each day. Please make sure you take ample breaks throughout each shift.
3) If you arrive for work more than one hour late without having previously notified us, other arrangements may have been made to cover your duties and you may be sent off the premises for the remainder of the shift/day without pay.
4) Lateness or absence may result in disciplinary action and/or loss of appropriate payment.
5) If there is a temporary shortage of work for any reason, we will try to maintain your continuity of employment even if this necessitates placing you on short time working, or alternatively, lay off. If you are placed on short time working, your pay will be reduced according to time actually worked. If you are placed on lay off, you will receive no pay other than statutory guarantee pay.
6) The Company provides the tools necessary to carry out your duties. You should keep these in good repair and take all reasonable steps to ensure that they are secure at all times. You must report any lost, damaged or mislaid tools to a Director. You must return all Company tools upon termination of employment by either party. Failure to return tools, or any loss or damage suffered as a result of your negligence, will result in a deduction to cover the cost of the tools being made from monies due to you.
7) Any damage to stock or property (including non-statutory safety equipment) that is the result of your carelessness, negligence or deliberate vandalism will render you liable to pay the full or part of the cost of repair or replacement.
Any loss to us that is the result of your failure to observe rules, procedures or instruction, or is as a result of your negligent behaviour or your unsatisfactory standards of work will render you liable to reimburse to us the full or part of the cost of the loss.
In the event of failure to pay, such costs will be deducted from your pay.
8) If you arrive for work and, in our opinion, you are not fit to work, we reserve the right to exercise our duty of care if we believe that you may not be able to undertake your duties in a safe manner or may pose a safety risk to others, and send you away for the remainder of the day with or without pay and, dependent on the circumstances, you may be liable to disciplinary action.
9) If you terminate your employment without giving or working the required period of notice, as indicated in your individual statement of main terms of employment, you will have an amount equal to any additional cost of covering your duties during the notice period not worked deducted from any termination pay due to you. You will also forfeit any contractual accrued holiday pay due to you over and above your statutory holiday pay, if you fail to give or work the required period of notice.
10) On the termination of your employment you must return all our property which is in your possession or for which you have responsibility, these included any keys provided. Failure to return such items will result in the cost of the items (or costs of replacing these items) being deducted from any monies outstanding to you.
11) On the termination of your employment you must return all items of your uniform to us if any were provided. Failure to return such items will result in the cost of the items being deducted from any monies outstanding to you.
