Employer deductions.
Discussion
A friend who works at a local main dealer service department has had an accident in one of the cars, in his contract he has a £1000 excess, his boss has told him he's lucky he hasn't taken it in full.

A quick look online seems to suggest that this is unlawful? gov.uk seems to suggest they cannot any more than 10% of his monthly before tax figure? Based on some quick maths the deductions taken would also mean he is working under minimum wage?
We are looking to write out a letter offering a repayment plan that suits everyone however he has already taken £500 before my friend seeked help as he assumed that as it's "in his contract" that there was "nothing he can do" as said by his boss? Would it be reasonable to expect the £500 to be refunded at least in part to agree a payment plan?
Thanks in advance for any help
