    I would think it’s fairly obvious they are from the UK seeing as they are using the pound symbol for their money - and contracts for employment are king in the UK if I remember correctly

      Still, I can’t imagine a UK contract can override UK law. You couldn’t get someone to sign a contract saying they’re a slave and hold them to it. Contracts do not trump laws.

        Correct, contracts dont trump laws and your extreme example would not fly in court because of it and because it would break humantarian laws and rights agreed upon in our countries.

        That said, he speaks the truth. If a contract says you earn x and you earn x+20 euro, they can and will compensate for that 20 euro. Its perfectly legal and ive seen 2 euros go down from my pay because of book keeping errors. However, i assume the law has a margin for book keeping errors, and if not they can demand it back in court. You signed on it after all…

      You do indeed remember correctly. This is a watertight case for the employee.
