Your Situation
Tell us what was taken from your wages — or not paid to you — and when. Anything your employer keeps back from your pay without your written consent counts as a deduction under the Act.
This letter will cite
Payment of Wages Act 1991, Section 5 and Section 5(6) + Workplace Relations Act 2015, Section 41(6) and Section 41(8)
Your letter will cite the statutory prohibition on unauthorised deductions, the wide definition of 'wages', and the 6-month WRC complaint clock (extendable to 12 months on reasonable cause).
Tick every category that applies. The letter will cite the matching statute for each one.
List each pay period the deduction applies to. The WRC 6-month clock runs from the date of each contravention.
Either way, the Payment of Wages Act 1991 still applies. Current and former employees both have the same right to file a WRC complaint.
