I resigned and my employer deducted 45 days salary as "penalty". My appointment letter mentions 1 month notice. Is this valid?
Adv. Ananya Iyer
Your employer can only recover the actual notice period shortfall (in your case, 0 days if you gave 1 month notice). Any deduction beyond the contractual notice period or amount is illegal. You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or approach the Labour Court under the Payment of Wages Act.
