ELI5— what this means for you

Your employer cannot tell you where to spend your wages, force you to buy from a company store, or restrict how you use your pay. Your salary is yours to spend as you choose.

Key point

Forced to buy from the company canteen or store? That's illegal interference with wage disposal.
