This answer was rated:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Is it legal for an employer to deduct money from an employee's salary because 10 days notice was given instead of 30 days notice. The employee having to return to their country due to family urgency. 2 days pay was deducted for every day no notice was given. This penalty was not in the employee's signed contract. But was given verbally during the second year of employment.

The said employee is now being told they cannot claim a tax rebate (after working and living in Spain for nearly two years) because the employee no longer has a Spanish bank account.

Thank you for your help.
