Can We Duduct Internal Donations Officialy From Employee Salary

Hii All, Very good morning.
In our office one of employee died in a road accident. As he is from very poor family back ground we are planning to contribute one day salary from whole team.
Kindly suggest can we deduct this amount from employees salary officially?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Dear Sir,
We can deduct such donations from employees salary officially and forward the cheque for the total amount collected to the family of the deceased employee.
There is no restriction for such deduction but make sure that the employees have agreed for the deduction.
Hope this would help you.

First make that type of policy and diplay or take sign of all worker
but the donation must be usefull for worker
for further information contact any employee of maruti udyog limited there is a death relief fund orgnizied

Hi
All the deductions other than statutory you should obtain clearance from the employee otherwise you should have a policy by which the management is authorized to deduct the amount and pay to the benefeciaries.

hi Upender,
you can send an official mail as well as put it on the notice board, seeking the employees' approval for deducting one day's salary. you can also say that those not inclined to donate need to intimate HR personally.
post that you can deduct one day's salary and hand it over to the employee's family. also see if employment can be provided to any of his family members. donations will help, albeit temporarily. what the employee's family requires is some form of regular sustenance, which can be done by providing employment to his family member.
appreciate the gesture of your company

Yes , it can be deducted from employees' salary but important point is you should take employee's individual consent in writing before making such deduction otherwise it will attract penal provisions under Payment of Wages Act.

It can be deducted form the salary of employees by taking individual consent in writing, for that make one format of consent and take sign of interesting candidate on it.

The correct way to do this would be to send out a Circular stating the objective, get all employees to sign the same and the go ahead and make the deductions from their salaries,

I don,t think it's a good idea, because it maybe take some problem for the company. It's better for donateing the same money by staff directly.

Hi All,
What we did for the same kind of incident was a group mail was send and money was collected directly not deducted.After collecting all the money a DD was taken in favour of his father(since our employee was not married) and handed over to the family.
After completion of this process again a group mail was send informing the amount handed over with a scanned copy of cheque just as to transperent in this process.
