Unlawful deduction from wages in the UK is when a worker or employee has not received correct payment, through either an underpayment or failure to receive payment entirely. The Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) protects employees and workers against unlawful wage deductions, including late payments due under their contract.
