Hi generally can only do so if there is a written agreemnt allowing the deductions otherwise is an unlawful deduction of salary think of a loan you sign to agree it can be deducted by your employer:
Where an employer has overpaid an employee, the employer may want to recover the overpayment by making deductions from the worker's wages. In these circumstances, the employee would not be protected from an unlawful deduction from her/his wages under the Employment Rights Act 1996 (in N. Ireland, Employment Rights Order). This is because the Act gives employers the right to make deductions without prior agreement in certain circumstances, including when an overpayment has been made. However, if the employer makes deduction(s) without the employee's agreement, the employer will be in breach of contract. This is because s/he will not have paid the agreed wage for the relevant period.
good luck
