⚖️ Is It Legal for an Employer to Hold Your Salary?

NO! An employer CANNOT withhold salary without a valid reason! 🚨 Under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, salaries must be paid on time and in full unless:

🔹 Disciplinary Action – Deductions for proven misconduct. ❌
🔹 Unapproved Absences – Unpaid leave days deducted. ⏳
🔹 Contractual Agreement – Salary terms allow deductions. 📜

⚠️ "Company financial crisis" is NOT a valid reason to hold salaries! Employees have the right to be paid on time! 💰
