pls explain me the section (9) of payment of wages Act. Pls tell me,whether there are any incorrect statement in the following stetements,if there, correct me. The payment of wages Act stipulate two types of deductions in two situations Firstly, normal deductions u/s 9 (1) of the Act, when an employee was absent for a period, then the deduction is equal to the actual period of absence of duty, and , Secondly, if he fall with in the purview of proviso of sub-section (2) of Section 9, that is, if 10 or more employed persons acting together absented themselves without due notice and without reasonable cause, in addition to the deduction of wages for the period of their absence, further or penal deduction up to a period of 8 days may be imposed, subject to the conditions in the rule made by the State Government in this regard u/s 26 (3) g of the Act. As in a case ,where an employee who was absent from his duty for a particular period , management can deduct wages for the period (day/s) equal to the actual period (day/s) of absence of duty. In the second case which is a group action of 10 or more employees , management can deduct wages of an employee in that group up to 8 days in addition to the deduction of wages for the period of their absence. ie if he was absent for 10 days , management can deduct 10 days wages plus wages for a period <= 8 days . That is, maximum 18 days deduction possible. Hence, management can deduct up to 9 days wages of an employee for an absence of a single day, provided , he falls within the proviso of Section 9 (2), ie second case, otherwise, only for a single day, in this case. And the maximum days management can deduct is same as the actual days the employee is absent in the first case and with respect to second case, the actual days he is absent plus up to 8 days additional, may be deducted. However , the total permissible deductions from the wages of an employee shall not exceed 50 % of his total wages as per Section 7 (3) of the Act. Thanks & Regards shonith P.S.
