Deductions from remuneration
Amounts taken off an employee's pay, which must be checked against the BCEA, written agreements, law, court orders, payroll records, and the reason for the deduction.
Definition
Deduction disputes usually require the payslip, employment contract, deduction authorisation, policy, loan or damage records, court order if any, tax or statutory deduction details, and correspondence. The issue is whether the deduction was authorised, lawful, correctly calculated, and properly explained.
