Cooper v Isle of Wight College [2008] IRLR 124

An employer should only deduct from wages one day's pay in respect of a one day strike, and cannot also deduct the portion of holiday pay the employee would have earned by working on that day.
Where an employee worked full time with 32 days paid holiday, only 1/260th of salary should be deducted for the day's strike and not 1/228th.
