Imposition of salary cut based on time inside office


14-Mar-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Senior Scientist with 5 yr service period at a semi autonomous institute at pay band PB-4. Sudden change in Director. Gauge of assessment altered (which is against scientific ethos) by office order to monitor exact number of hours to be calculated within institute--reads automated salary to be cut if total period spent inside institute less than what required. Scientists work 24/7 and need to be assessed by their contribution to international standing, publication and over all scientific output— how legal it is for institute to deduct salary base on the office order for govt servants?

Need more documents to study this. Otherwise the law is that salary can not be reduced.
