Wage sanctions
An employer can impose a wage penalty on an employee in certain cases defined in the law. The law distinguishes between suspension of wage payment and a wage freeze, each intended for different situations.
In practice, things often go wrong because employers confuse the two sanctions. More text and explanation will be provided under the terms ‘wage suspension’ and ‘wage freeze’. If the employer chooses the wrong sanction, this will be at the employer’s expense and risk. In any case, it is advisable for an employer to choose the right track prior to imposing a wage penalty.
