[Closed] I think I've been sacked and I'm not sure of the legality of it.

Regardless of whether or not they’re allowed to or not, should I cut it and run with the £250 and write off the £140? I’m tempted – it’d save the hassle of conciliation and a tribunal.

For £140 it's not worth the grief.

I'd just make sure that anyone else in the industry that you 're talking to knows what they're like if you're ever asked.

I'd take a degree of satisfaction if I knew that that £140 had cost them dearly in terms of future work or difficulty in recruitment down the line.

I would go for the 140 as unless stated in the contract they have no right to deduct it but you have to ask yourself if it's worth it

How much is your time worth? How many hours af additional effort is it going to take you with CB, ACAS and a tribunal?

Thought you were talking about more money than this.. take the 250 and move on.

Maybe time for a subject access request under GDPR.

I'd hold on for ACAS advice, I thought the case was cut and dried? Don't let the ****s win.

Your contract may say something about the £140.

Did they pay you for April in the end? Your last post on that suggested not in which case don't they owe you way more than 3 days pay?

Nixie - sorry, I missed a bit out there. I did, eventually, get paid my salary but it didn't include the last three days of my notice period and they'd taken some money out for my professional body membership.

Just re-read my contract and it says nothing at all about deductions from final pay except for holiday pay.

They really hate you don't they 😉 . We are allowed one professional membership paid annually. Nothing about recovering it on termination. I'd take it further, just for the fun of it. Your next company will done out on the stories!
