Police say the call complaining about not being paid could prevent a genuine emergency call.
West Yorkshire Police has issued a warning about misusing the 999 number after a woman called to complain about not receiving her wages.An operator told the woman it was not a police matter and to contact her union or HR department about it.
In a Twitter post, the force said it received an average of 120 calls a day to its emergency number which were "not life or death emergencies". It added that such calls "could prevent someone in a genuine emergency receiving the support they need". This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.
