    Default Problem Getting Paid After Store Robbery

    hi, thanks for looking this over.
    ive been working at lidl for around 11 months when last week a guy came in and held me up for the money in the till, with a knife or something. i gave him the money, there was more than there should be in the till because a manager had not put out a cashbox for me. the police came and i was searched, they found a little bag of weed on me, and arrested me because staff had apparently said they had seen me on the phone earlier in the day, when i told the police i hadnt had one that day. i was later bailed because i could explain the phone issue and there was no evidence against me. but i was held for 17 hours and interviewed for an hour and a half after i was the one that was held up.
    right now i do not know if i will be sacked straight away for having cannabis on me as i have not returned to work, the issue is too stressfull for me to think about going back yet. however, today i was meant to get paid and i have only recieved less than half of what i should have. i dont know for sure but i am guessing lidl have docked my wages because i didnt have a cash box that day. even though it is the managers responsibility to put one out, and even though it was busy that day im sure i said to someone i hadnt had one.
    please let me know if they have any right to do this under UK law, also, if so, i'd like to know if i have right to sue under UK law. for lidl takes 10's of thousands of pounds a day with no security, security gaurd and a maximum of 4 or 5 staff on,which i think is rediculous and only encourages these things to happen.
    thanks for your info.

    This is primarily a US site. Aaron can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any of the regular responders here know UK law.

    If somebody happens by who can answer, that's fine. But cbg is correct, that the forum regulars aren't expert in UK law.
