Foreword

The purpose of this document is to explain the means of redress available to an employee whose employer:

  • makes unlawful deductions from his or her wages; or

  • breaches the terms and conditions of employment that have been agreed between them.

It also aims to explain the means of redress available to an employer whose employee breaches the agreed terms and conditions. It is intended to give general guidance only and should not be regarded as a complete or authoritative statement of the law. Readers should be alert to the possibility of developments in case law that might affect the rights described.

Further information on these matters may be obtained from the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas).
