Hi
My daughter started a new job as a waitress locally in well known venue.
She recently got her contract of employment to sign and pointed out to me that there is a stipulation in it advising that any amount lost because of walk outs are deducted from her salary.
Thankfully, nothing like that has happened to her but my question is whether this is legal or not ?
She is 19, minimum wage job and her section has 8-10 tables.
Sometimes with dinner, drinks etc - a bill can get up to €300.
If they were to walk out without paying - her weekly salary would be gone.
The fact that its in the contract makes me think it must be a legal and binding condition and thus is allowed ? If it is, would seem hugely unfair.
Just wanted to see if anyone knows whether this is the case - thats it legal ?
Thank you
