Commentaries: Art. 323a

To the extent provided for by individual agreement, custom, standard employment contract or collective employment contract, the employer may withhold part of the salary.
The amount withheld on any given payment date must not exceed one-tenth of the salary due and the cumulative amount withheld must not exceed the salary due for one week’s work; however, a higher amount may be withheld under the terms of a standard employment contract or collective employment contract.
Unless otherwise provided by individual agreement, custom, standard employment contract or collective employment contract, the salary withheld is deemed to be security for the employer’s claims arising from the employment relationship rather than a contractual penalty.
