"Under the proposed law, after deduction, employees must receive the amount that is not less than the regional subsistence minimum"
If an employee does not work on the same job, he will need to take into account his earnings not only in the place of the main job but also in the place of combined job. It is also still unclear how to implement this idea in practice in case the debtor works for different employers.
The current 20% and 50% deductions limits will remain. For example, it is possible to deduct not more than half of the salary, in case it is twice or more times exceeds the subsistence minimum, and there are several orders of enforcement issued by the court with respect to the employee. If the salary is less, then the lower limit will be the subsistence level.
In addition, restrictions (both existing and proposed in the law) will still not apply to deductions from salaries in the following cases:
- serving correctional labor;
- recovery of alimony for minor children;
- compensation for damage caused by the employee to the health of another person;
- compensation for harm to persons who suffered damage in connection with the death of the breadwinner;
- compensation for damage caused by the crime.
Deductions in the abovementioned cases cannot exceed 70%.
