Are deuctions in worked hours without written agreement legal?
My company has recently started to deduct up to 10 hours a week from my total time worked as Unpaid Travel Time. I start from home and travel around to different sites in South Wales. My company is based in Leeds. Due to the "Economical Climate" I believe my company to be "Jumpimg -on-the-band-wagon" to reduce costs in any way possible. If my worked hours for one week are 50 and I have travelling times of 10 hours to different locations, I will be deduted this travel time and will only be paid for 40. Which when stretched works out at around 11 weeks unpaid work a year! (or somewhere around that mark) Now, my question is, Is this legal to deduct these hours without an agreement in the form of a contractual amendment?
