OMG no!!!! If the boss paid him in error he must write to him and ask him for the money back if he owes it and his payslip should be amended accordingly.
You are not allowed to sack someone by text.
Read "What is the statutory disciplinary procedure?" in this link http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1108
Go to ACAS - this stinks!!

A lot of this situation depends on the mechanics how he is paid.
If the payments comes in form of a check. The employer has limited ability to recover over-paid amounts.
If the payments are EFT or electonically deposited into his account the employee normally signs a waiver to allow the employer to recover overpaid amounts.
The logic behind the rule is that a check is a manual process and should have been checked prior to sending him a physical check versus an electronic payment which has a seperate agreement and normally automatic.

You cannot be sacked while off sick,but you have a set time to fight this with a tribunal.The wages mistakenly paid into your sons account must be withdrawn and paid back,but,make the ex boss meet you at the bank and sign a receipt for the money,which you will give him there and then as a cheque,not cash.Go to your local employment office they will advise you correctly.But do it now.

No the boss cannot take his money as long as he did the work for the pay. If he was paid for time that he did not work then I think he would have to give it back but you would need to check with a lawyer in your state.

If your son worked the hours for the pay he is legally entitled to the wage and the employer can not demand it back
If the employment lasted less than one year then your son can be dismissed without reasons or fomalities....BUT he may be entitled to further pay as he was dismissed without notice
Go to your local citizens advice bureau who can explain further

In England a person has full employment rights after 12 months of continuous employment. This would not be legal. Get in touch with ACAS.

criminal bud is only hemp, which Im particular you recognize is only marijuana with a very low thc content fabric, meaning that smoking it is going to do no longer something because of the fact there is no thc, that's the energetic element that makes human beings severe. particular curiously only like it, yet its thoroughly ineffective. I dont understand what you recommend via criminal bud, because of the fact there is no bud this is criminal interior america, federal regulation says its unlawful. What i theory you meant grow to be bud which you spot in magazines like severe circumstances, that's hemp, no longer different plant life no longer grass, no longer lettuce. it rather is ineffective in case you attempt to get severe, yet could be used industrially for many stuff. And for the girl that went on approximately how its a conspiracy, it rather is, yet that wasnt the question.

Your run-on sentences confuse me,but if I grasp the situation
correctly you should consult somebody. The boss sounds like
a sleaze to start with. Who fires a worker by text for being sick? No,don't trust this man.

This doesn't sound right at all, seek legal advice quickly. Go to your local law centre or citizens advice, they can help you with free legal advice, or put you in touch with a solicitor who understands employment law, and tax law. Good luck.
