If an employee took a loan and repayment is still pending while she went on paternity leave, is it possible for the loan amount to be adjusted against the maternity pay? Once the recovery is complete, can the maternity pay start based on the remaining time period and money due? Please advise.

She went on a paternity leave - Maternity/Paternity?
When a loan has been taken, is any document prepared on how the loan repayment will be done? If not, please create an SOP on how loan recovery will be conducted. If already prepared, please recover dues as per that plan only. Please ensure that maternity benefits are not combined with the loan.

Maternity leave cannot be adjusted with recoveries. Be careful as during inspection by labour or audit,less payment will get pointed out.

Dear Friend,
Please go through the Payment of Wages Act. The Act provides for deductions. You can plan your deductions accordingly. Salary during maternity leave is also considered a salary.

Mr.Bharat Get has correctly pointed you the relevant act. Please do not deduct anything unless authorised by law. Even in cases employee has agreed earlier it might be unlawful as per act.

Maternity pay cannot be adjusted against any loan. A loan is a debt, and such payments are a kind of special allowance that companies provide to their employees.
