Unauthorized salary deduction by leave without pay

Hi, I want to ask a query that can any limited company deduct the leave without pay in spite of having leaves in the balance? Respective HR person is saying that the casual leaves are not approved by immediate reporting manager. Not- We are having only sick leave & casual leaves here. & I am working on third party payroll. offer letter of third party is stating that I am applicable for the leaves as per deputed client. Please help. Regards, Ajeet Kumar

  1. The leave is part of service conditions and leave policy is governed by various enactments that apply to establishment/employer/employee.

 

The employer can frame its leave policy that provides for superior benefits than applicable enactments but can’t provide for inferior benefits.

 

 

2. Your employer is third party that has seconded/deputed you to its client.

As per extract posted by you, the leave policy of client shall be applicable.

 

Has the copy of leave policy been provided to you on DOJ and any change in it thereafter?

 

 

3. Is it stated in offer/appointment letter that leave sanctioning authority shall be Manager of client?

 

 

4. Did you initiate/inform, CL to leave sanctioning authority, before proceeding on leave?

 

5. Did you submit leave application after joining back?

 

6. Has salary slip been issued to you and does it show deduction?

You have not posted clear reply to 7.

You may also clarify if you have power to sanction (not just recommendation) : leave/increment/appoint/terminate?

Can anyone cancel/change/amend your sanction and/or recommendation.

The idea is assess if you are an authority Or just  a paper pusher.
