TUC claims some employment agencies 'cheat' workers 4ni.co.uk, UK
Many UK workers are earning less than the minimum wage, because some employment agencies are making illegal deductions from their pay, a Trades Union Congress (TUC) report has claimed.
The TUC report found that a number of 'dodgy' agencies routinely made deductions from temporary workers for cashing pay cheques, transport, accommodation and providing clothing and safety equipment which brings the hourly rate for many agency workers to underneath the current minimum wage of £4.85 an hour. Migrant workers were those most likely to be affected by these practises, the TUC said.------------------------------------------- posted 1:25 PM :: reference link ::
