Quick Question

Can My Employer Deduct Money From My Salary Without My Consent?

The short answer

Quick answer

No.

No. In most cases, employers cannot deduct money from your salary without your consent unless the deduction is authorised under Singapore's Employment Act, such as for CPF contributions or unpaid leave. Unauthorised salary deductions may give you grounds to file a claim with Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM).
