Boss just took a quarter of my paycheck as I was staying with my dying grandfather

I really wish this was a joke but it's not. For context I work as an administrator for a company that leases cars. I only make 19k a year. I took some time off work as my grandfather, who I was extremely close too, was dying and I wanted to be at his side. After 5 days he passed and I took the next day off as I wasn't in a good place to work. I was assured everything was fine and work is not a priority so I should be with my family. Just got my paycheck today and those days I took off were not put on bereavement pay so I haven't been paid for the time off even though I had been assured not to worry about it. Just before Christmas I now have about £900 to live off and pay for bills and food as well…

And they wonder why people keep quitting this place.

Im done. Spent the day applying for new jobs. I hate this company.
