Question
Salary at a company is based on four principals: Basic, Punctuality, Attendance and Performance. The company makes deduction if for example the performance principle is violated. If there is an argument with the employee, a deduction is made although the employee is punctual and does his work to the best of his ability. Is such a deduction permissible?
Answer
Such 'Performance' deductions are haraam. It is not permissible. Any such amounts which have been deducted should be refunded to the employee otherwise he will have a claim against the employer on the Day of Qiyaamah.
