Salary Deduction Threat for Missing Company Assets


30-Jul-2025 (In Corporate Law)
Hello, I need legal advice regarding a matter at my workplace. Two company laptops have gone missing due to a mistake by the IT department. However, management has informed both the IT and HR departments that the cost of the laptops will be deducted from our salaries. There was no involvement or fault from the HR department's side in this matter. The management has given us a deadline till 5th August to respond or accept the deduction. I would like to understand if this deduction is legally valid and what options or protections are available to prevent this unfair action. Looking forward to your guidance. Thank you,

Simple logic is, if you're responsible for the function, you must be having the authority to manage the same. In the absence if either one, the another does not exist. You must act fast and hire an Advocate at your earliest convenience. Things might just go against you. Your service record may be spoiled! feel free to connect. Adv SOHAM DESAI ♦️
