What is the maximum amount of salary my employer can deduct in one salary period?
If you are covered by the Employment Act, your employer can deduct your salary only for specific reasons or if required by authorities.
However, your employer cannot deduct more than 50% of your total salary payable in any one salary period. Find out more about the types of allowable salary deductions.
