But the employee owes you more than their final salary payment, so deductions alone still leave you short of what is owed 💸 Employment Partner Nicola Wallbank discusses here why this is a scenario worth thinking about when drafting employment contracts 📝 Watch the full video below! 👇 #EmploymentLaw #HR #Contracts #LegalAdvice
