Regulating Financial Deduction from Salary

Abstract

The salary is one of the most important financial rights of the employee. There is no agreement or negotiation regarding the salary that the employee deserves. Accordingly, the salary has no contractual property, as it is considered a matter of public order and is determined according to the law. Regulating the financial deduction from the employee’s salary is one of the rights of the administration on the one hand, and one of the factors affecting his salary on the other hand. Therefore, the proceeds of this financial deduction go to the public treasury in order to finance the expenses that were allocated and deducted for it. Therefore, regulating the financial deduction from the employee’s salary is one of the rights that the executive authority possesses and derives its right from the constitutional and legal texts. Therefore, there must be legislation to regulate the financial deduction that is made to the salary. Therefore, because the relationship that links the employee to the state is a regulatory relationship in Iraqi legislation, any amendment made by the administrative authority to the legal status of the employee must be based on legal texts that justify its imposition.
