Can an employer withhold deductible due to vehicle damage?


Questioner

My son is a meal deliverer and during a heavy shower he drove into a pole. During the shower he lowered his visor but it fogged up and he saw the pole too late. He braked but the rear wheel slipped and slid against the pole. Scooter was a total loss. The employer now wants to deduct 500 euros of deductible from his salary. The employment contract includes an article for this purpose. Is this allowed?

Lawyer

It depends on what has been agreed in the employment contract. If no agreements have been made about it, the employer may not simply withhold damages. The law prescribes in which cases this is allowed and when it is not. In order to be able to advise properly, I need the employment contract. If necessary, you can contact us via boksjuristen.nl
