Are u already in ireland?
They are a small company with offices in London and Liverpool. They were fair to me. They saved me a lot of money for labor brokers who arrange work abroad. Going to work in the UK cost me around £150. I only paid for my personal expenses, for documents, visas, etc. I haven't heard of anyone complaining about them. Bless you!

I got a written invitation from Norris Green Converse Inc. Can you remember how your invitation letter looked like? What is the colour? I am trying to figure out if my invitation is legit and not a scam.
I am from Kenya. I applied for a job at the UK through an intermediary.
The company is called Norris Green Comverse Inc. I did not pay anything to this company. I only paid for my job application documents.
I paid for both the medical record and the courier. Well, this company got me a job that I started in three months.
The intermediary company (Norris Green Comverse Inc) keeps a commission. But from my employer. I personally did not pay anything for their services, which I was very happy with. Just FYI - agencies in Nairobi charge between $3, 500 and $5, 000 for the same service!!
However, now (I'm already in the UK and working), my current employer in the UK has told me that he will withhold £800 from me. In installments, from three consecutive paychecks of mine. He told me that these
money he had paid for my employment. Therefore, it was right that this money should be withheld from my wages.
My question is: Is what my current employer intends to do legal? And if it's not legal - how can I protect myself?

There is nothing wrong with what your employer did. Some Employers do deduct money spent in giving you employment from your monthly salary. Some Employers don't. It depends on the employer.

Pls tell is it scam or not pls because I spend 80 euros for there document application, medical certificate, courier service but they haven't told me the name of employer yet

Did you pay for the documents and how did you go bout that. I'm also from Kenya and I would love to know how you navigated the whole process
Rj carter's reply, Jul 14, 2024
Hi valeros, I'm Carter from Kenya. I got the written invitation letter as well and having read your submission on the same, i wanted to ask, did you pay via mpesa? For the said documents needed?
Ajit_Chaurasia's reply, Jul 20, 2024
Hello Sir,
I received a written invitation. Now I have to pay by mpesa. But I doubt that this is a private person - the recipient of the money in mpesa. Can you help me Sir?
Thank you!

It's understandable that you're concerned about your employer's intention to withhold £800 from your wages. Here’s a detailed look at the situation and steps you can take to address it:
Legal Considerations
UK Employment Law: According to UK employment law, any deductions from wages must be agreed upon in advance, typically within your employment contract. Employers are legally required to provide a written statement of terms and conditions, including any clauses related to wage deductions.
Employment Contract: Review your employment contract carefully. Look for any clauses that mention deductions for recruitment fees or any other costs. If such a clause exists, it should be clearly stated, and you should have agreed to it when you signed the contract.
Unlawful Deductions: If there is no agreement or clause in your contract about the £800 deduction, your employer might be making an unlawful deduction from your wages. Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, employees are protected from unlawful wage deductions, except in certain situations (e.g., tax, National Insurance contributions, overpayments, etc.).
Steps to Protect Yourself
Request Clarification: Speak to your employer and request a detailed explanation and documentation of the £800 deduction. Ask for the specific clause in your contract that permits this deduction.
Seek Advice: Contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) for free and confidential advice. They can help you understand your rights and the legality of the deduction.
ACAS Helpline:[protected]
ACAS Website: ACAS
Written Complaint: If you believe the deduction is unlawful, submit a written complaint to your employer. Clearly state that you do not agree to the deduction and reference the lack of prior agreement or contract clause.
Trade Union: If you are a member of a trade union, seek their assistance. They can provide support and may help mediate the issue with your employer.
Employment Tribunal: As a last resort, if the issue cannot be resolved through discussion or mediation, you may need to bring a claim to an Employment Tribunal. This should be done within three months of the deduction.
Document Everything: Keep records of all communications with your employer regarding this issue. Written correspondence is particularly useful.
Consult Legal Assistance: Consider consulting a solicitor who specializes in employment law. Some offer free initial consultations, and you may be eligible for legal aid.
So, eview your contract for any clauses about wage deductions.
Ask your employer for clarification and documentation.
Seek advice from ACAS or a legal professional.
Consider formal action if necessary, through a complaint or Employment Tribunal.
By taking these steps, you can better understand your rights and how to protect yourself in this situation.

Does Norris Green Comverse Inc help in getting jobs in Ireland and can someone bring dependents to Ireland. Because I got a message from them for a job in Ireland and I asked the manager they said i should message if I can bring dependent they said yes. But online they said Ireland do accept dependents until you have worked for one year. Please I want to know if this is a scam 🙏🏽
bringing dependents to ireland depends on how good your lawyer is :)
you must have a stable job, steady income and suitable housing. The term of one year is only recommended. It also depends a lot on which region of Ireland you live in, because things are also related to regional politics
