Daughter is upset that her mother was deducted salary by pho restaurant owner, 5 packs of rice paper were taken for 1.6 million?

Recently, social networks have been buzzing with the story of a girl who shared her mother’s story of being oppressed and exploited by the owner of the restaurant where she worked. Accordingly, the incident was posted on social networks by an account named NTYN.

The content of the article is as follows:

"My mother has worked at PHĐ restaurant in Thao Dien ward for nearly 2 years. According to the initial agreement, her job was as a kitchen assistant and her working hours were from 5:30 am to 5 pm every day, with a salary of 7 million/month.

But after only half a year, the boss forced me to work overtime until 6-7pm, but did not pay me any extra salary and I had to do a lot of work for other departments, leaving all the big and small tasks from checking the goods to making spring rolls and sausages to my mother to take charge of.

My mother is very gentle and considerate, always devoted to her work, so she took on all the work herself...

However, there came a time when my mother could no longer cope, so she had to decide to quit her job. However, the owner of the restaurant tried every way to squeeze her and deduct all her salary, causing her salary of 7 million to be minus 450 thousand...".

Along with the above shares, the girl also posted a conversation between her mother and the owner of the shop where she worked. According to information from these chats, the shop owner found every excuse to deduct money from the elderly employee. Notably, 5 stacks of moldy rice paper were charged up to 1.6 million VND. "Deducting from beginning to end", the shop owner finally asked the employee to return her 450 thousand VND.

According to the shared information, this employee has worked at the restaurant for 2 years, often working overtime and doing many jobs outside of the hired job position but was not paid extra. Frustrated, she asked her daughter to post her story on social media and received a lot of attention from the online community.

Although the cause is still unclear and the incident has only been shared from one side, the restaurant owner's actions and attitude are unacceptable according to netizens. Although women can make mistakes at work, the restaurant owner's unreasonable deduction of salary has made many people angry.

It is worth mentioning that right after the YN account posted the incident on social media, the restaurant owner threatened the woman to report it to the police. However, what made the online community wonder was that this person was holding the woman's citizen identification card, while according to the law, no one has the right to hold this type of document of another person.

It is known that the restaurant where the woman works is a famous pho restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. However, after the article was posted, the restaurant's official fanpage was locked, and the restaurant also received many negative reviews.

The person believed to be the owner of the restaurant where the woman worked also refused to speak about the incident.

The incident is still being shared on social networks.

The situation of businesses deducting wages for various purposes is common, causing disadvantages to workers' rights.

According to the provisions of the current Labor Code, employers are only allowed to deduct wages from employees to compensate for damages caused by damaging tools, equipment, and assets of the employer as prescribed; employers are prohibited from fining or cutting wages from employees instead of handling labor discipline. However, despite the regulations, enterprises still use countless forms of fining and deducting wages from employees.

"Based on Decree 12/2022/ND-CP dated January 17, 2022, when deducting employees' salaries in violation of regulations, employers may be fined from 5 million to 50 million VND depending on the scale of employment. In addition, if using fines or salary cuts instead of handling labor discipline, employers may be fined from 20 million to 40 million VND and forced to return the collected amount or pay the full salary to employees" - Mr. Tran Van Trieu, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation Legal Consulting Center, noted.
