Salary retention

The deduction from earned wages of employee, work hours can only be in line with enactments applicable e.g.;

Payment of Wages Act

(name of the state) Shops and Commercial Establishments Act etc…………….

The company might have obtained your acceptance for deduction of this security amount by a private agreement signed by you.

Show all doc signed by you to your Labor Consultant/Service Lawyer………………….

If the company has not incurred any expense on Training that added some certified qualification/skill to you then your lawyer may opine that BOND is unconscionable, VOID…………………..and so the deduction………..

Work hours are;8/day exclusive of breaks.......................48 hrs/week.............................beyond this OT should apply.OT should be paid with monthly wages on usual pay day.
