Employee’s Rights – Deductions – Salary
This case involved a request by an employee for her dues. The case was rejected as the employer had deducted these amounts from the employee's salary and she had not previously made a complaint.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company and requested the elementary authority for the settlement of labour disputes to pay her dues.
The elementary authority rejected the case.
The employee appealed the ruling before the High Authority for the Settlement of Labour Disputes.
Decision
The high authority stated the employee had no right to ask about the amounts the company deducted from her salary. The company had deducted these amounts and that the employee had not objected to these deductions.
The high authority upheld the elementary ruling.
