My Foreign Workers Are Fighting At Site ? Can I Deduct Their Salary ?

Employer cannot deduct employee's salary unless they are the authorized deduction allowed by the Employment Act.

Unless the fights has caused damages to company property, where the employer is trying to recover the loses, otherwise, employer cannot deduct employees' salary to "punish" them for their disciplinary matters.

Deducting employees salary to punish them, is definitely NOT the allowed deduction under Employment Act. Company should have disciplinary policies to govern the disciplinary procedures and make known to the employees.
