Salary Deduction

Dear Client,

Marking an employee absent for the entire day despite having worked, only due to a short delay such as 15 minutes, is generally not justified unless there is a specific provision in the bank service rules permitting such action. Normally, minor lateness is addressed through late marks or proportionate deduction, not by treating the day as absent.

Since you were permitted to work on those days, treating them as absent without leave and deducting full salary may be questionable unless supported by clear rules or policy. You should verify the applicable service regulations of the bank regarding attendance and deductions.

You may submit a written representation to the branch manager or higher authority seeking clarification and correction. If the issue is not resolved, you may consider approaching the appropriate forum for redressal.
