In the latest episode of our podcast, Matthew Ramsey is joined by Isobel Lewis to talk about money: when wages are payable, when employers can withhold salary, and what happens when employees are suspended from work.

They cover:

• the “wage-work bargain” and its significance in defining employment relationships;
• legal principles governing wage deductions under the Employment Rights Act; and
• complex scenarios where employees are unable to work due to external circumstances, such as suspensions or criminal trials, with references to the recent well-publicised litigation between Benjamin Mendy and Manchester City FC.

If you would like more information or want to discuss any of the topics in this podcast, please get in touch with Matthew and Isobel.
