Dear all,
im currently in the middle of a work dispute whilst on maternity leave.
I Need some insight into the what employers can and can't do in terms of benefits offered by them- in particular medical benefits.
in 2013 the company sent out a communication stating that we could receive a variety of benefits (ie medical, dental etc) and advised to log on and choose the benefit. I did not do this as I did not want the benefits at the time.
They have since submitted to HMRC that I am receiving it and my tax code has been significantly lower due to this.
My question is, if this is a non contractual benefit (therefore it's not within my contract terms) and I have not signed anything to authorise the medical benefit and deduction being made- can my company still go ahead and deduct it if only an email communication was sent out about it?
And what should I do as they are saying that I have already received the benefit so can't refund me what I've been taxed??
any advice will be much appreciated.
p.s. I was not aware I was receiving this benefit until I received a letter from the medical insurer with a username and password to log in and see what I could benefit from- this was received in end of July 14
