Article 16 If an employee causes economic losses to the employing unit due to his own reasons, the employing unit may demand compensation for the economic losses according to the stipulations of the labor contract. Compensation for economic losses can be deducted from the employee's own salary. However, the monthly deduction shall not exceed 20% of the employee's monthly salary. If the deducted surplus wage is lower than the local monthly minimum wage, it shall be paid according to the minimum wage.

If an employing unit commits one of the following acts that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of workers, the labor administrative department shall order it to pay wages and economic compensation to the workers, and may order it to pay compensation:
(1) Deducting or delaying the wages of workers without reason;
(2) refusing to pay overtime wages to laborers;
(3) paying workers' wages below the local minimum wage standard.
The standards of economic compensation and compensation shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state.
