Situations and conditions of imposing wage cutoff penalty on workers are arranged with laws. Pursuant to the arrangement made with Article 38 of 4857 No Labor Law, in order to impose a wage cutoff penalty on workers, the situation must be determined with provisions of a work contract or collective agreement.
In case a wage cutoff penalty is imposed on a worker, the situation will be notified to the worker in writing with its reasons and the wage cutoff penalty imposed for a month will not exceed 2-day wage of the worker.
The wage cutoff penalty amounts imposed on workers must be deposited to an account of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security opened for that purpose within one month after it is cutoff. These monies will be used for training and social services of workers.
