Situation:
The employer began putting pressure on the employee and stated an intention to withhold part of the employee’s wages due to an alleged breach of employment duties that had not been supported by documentary evidence.
Risks:
Unlawful reduction of wages, deterioration of working conditions, psychological pressure on the employee, and potential violations of the employee’s employment rights.
Objective:
To assess the lawfulness of the employer’s actions, protect the employee’s interests, and prevent unlawful deductions from the employee’s wages.
What We Did:
We reviewed the employment agreement, the employer’s internal rules, and the circumstances of the dispute; prepared a legal position; explained the employee’s rights; and facilitated communication with the employer within an appropriate legal framework.
Result:
The employer withdrew the proposed unlawful deductions, and the conflict was resolved without further escalation into an employment dispute.
