Deducting overpaid wages or employee debt

 

Employers cannot deduct money from an= employee's pay without the employee's written consent. This is prohibited = by the Wages Protection Act.

Some employers include a clause in th= eir employment agreements authorising them to deduct any money owed by an e= mployee from that employee's final pay, but the Wages Protection Act allows= an employee to withdraw consent to this arrangement by giving two weeks no= tice of their withdrawal.

If= you employee owes you money and will not give written consent for you to d= educt it from their pay, you can apply to the Employment Relations= Authority for a compliance order for your employee to repay the money = owed. Another option is to apply for a summary judgment against your employ= ee.
