Workers Leaving Without Notice: Can We Deduct a Month's Salary from Their Settlements?

In our factory, workers are leaving jobs without any intimation and submitting their resignation letters after some months. Can we deduct 1 month's salary from their settlements? Please advise.

Please elaborate on the clause of separation in the appointment offers issued to workmen.

6-month probationary period

During this period, employees are not required to serve a notice period, but they must inform the management. After the 6-month probationary period, their job is confirmed, and they must serve a notice period of 1 month or pay 1 month's salary.

Please advise whether we need to pay earned leave for workers in settlement who worked only for 1 or 2 months. Currently, we are paying 2 days of earned leave in settlement even if they worked only for 30 days.

Notice Pay Based on Length of Service

Depending on their length of service, you can decide on the notice pay. If they seek separation from the company within six months—or during the probation period—you need not collect notice pay. If the length of service is more than six months—or after the probation period—you have to ask them to give one month's notice or salary in lieu of the notice period.

Earned Leave (EL) in Factories

I have not heard that, in the factory, 2 days of EL are granted to employees for every 30 days worked. Anyway, depending on their service in the factory, you can give EL pro-rated to the number of days worked by them.

We are paying Earned Leave (EL) to all employees who worked for 1 or 2 months and then left the company. Is it mandatory to pay EL and a bonus in the settlement?
