[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 1532583, member: 21358"] That is awful. Absolutely not correct. The deduction should have been explained to you before you got your payslip if that was the decision taken and as a once off I feel it should have been paid and then supported to check your blood sugar more regularly. It is terrible. I would write to HR. This is discrimination. Even outside of equality acts, if they don't dock pay for toilet or cigarette breaks then they cannot say it is reasonable to do so for blood sugar checks. I would liken this to constructive dismissal as it is making is difficult to stay working in this job and penalising your financially for being diabetic. If nothing else your employer has a duty of care and a responsibility to ensure you are safe in work. If they make it difficult for you to test your blood sugar by docking pay then they are not acknowledging the seriousness of the condition which is totally wrong. I am outraged on your behalf. Hope you get it sorted! Be strong! [emoji123] Sent from my Pixel using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
