(a) Deductions for absence from duty can be made only on account of the absence of the employed person at times when he should be working, and such deductions must not exceed an amount which is in the same proportion to his Wages for the wage period, as the time he was absent in that period is to the total time he should have been at work. (b) If ten or more employed persons, acting in concert, absent themselves without reasonable cause, and without due notice, the deduction for absence can include Wages for eight days in lieu of notice, but- (1) no deduction for breaking a contract can be made from a person under 15 or a woman; (2) there must be a provision in writing which forms part of the contract of employment, requiring that a specific period of notice of intention to cease work not exceeding 15 days or the period of notice which the employer has to give to discharge a worker, must be given to the employer and that wages may be deducted in lieu of such notice; (3) the above provision must be displayed at or near the main entrance of the factory, or industrial establishment; (4) no deduction of this nature can be made until a notice that this deduction is to be made has been posted at or near the main entrance of the factory or industrial establishment; (5) no deduction must exceed the wages of the employed person for the period by which the notice he gives of leaving employment, is less than the notice he should give under his contract.
