Employee Payroll Deductions

In most cases, the employer is prohibited from making any deductions from an employee’s wages or termination pay without:

the specific authority of the employee;

a provision specified in the relevant award or agreement;

or a condition specified in the contract of employment that allows the employer to make deductions from monies due to an employee under reasonable circumstances.

It is important to understand that deductions made with employee’s consent may only be paid to the benefit of a third party, not to the employer.

There are a range of items you are permitted to make by law and others where you can’t. What do you do with personal loans and damaged property.
