الأسباب التي بموجبها يمكن الخصم من مستحقات نهاية الخدمة
مرحبًا سيدي،
أعمل لدى شركة تجارية منذ سبع سنوات في إمارة دبي. المسمى الوظيفي الخاص بي هو مدير مبيعات.
لقد استقلت من وظيفتي وأنا في فترة إشعار مدتها شهر واحد. أخبرتني الشركة حاليًا أنه سيتم خصم المدفوعات الخاصة بقضايا الشيكات المرتجعة في العام الماضي من مستحقاتي.
هل هناك أي قوانين تنص على أنه لا يحق للشركة خصم المدفوعات من الموظف؟

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for reaching out to me on this.
I understand that the bounced cheque was for the suppliers and not yours personally. So there is no reason why the company should deduct the amount from your EOSB.
Any loss that the company makes should be attributed to them only and cannot be passed to the employee unless the employee has done some financial misconduct.
You will find Article 60 of the UAE Labour Law helpful in this regard, which enlists the grounds under which the employer can deduct the amounts from the salary.
The ground mentioned by the company is not one of the grounds to deduct the amount.
If the employer still deducts the amount, then you are eligible to file a labour case against the company and claim the shortfall at 9-12% legal interest.
I trust you will find this helpful.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
Dear Questioner,
The employer cannot deduct the salary for an employee because of these absurd reasons.
The cheque has been given by the client to your employer and as an employee, it's not your liability.
You only did what you were supposed to do. Unless there is wrongdoing on your part, the employer has no right to deduct your salary or any other dues.
Further, if he is doing so, you have the right to file a labour case with MOL.
