التنظيم القانوني لعقوبة قطع الراتب : دراسة مقارنة

Abstract EN

The issue of the salary cut penalty is one of the central topics worthy of in-depth studies related to a large segment of society, namely the employees, as it is one of the disciplinary penalties that the administration uses to discourage and deter the employee if he violates his job duties stipulated in the law.

It affects his family and his standard of living, especially if he is the only provider for his family and he has no other source of income except his salary.

Despite the importance of this punishment, we do not find at the present time a sufficient number of studies that are commensurate with the importance of this topic, as most studies have not dealt with this topic in detail.

Rather, it suffices to refer to this topic without delving into and detailing it, especially if we know that the Iraqi legislator in the law Discipline of state and public sector employees No.

14 of 1991, amended, has encountered problems regarding this penalty, starting from not determining the salary to which the punishment falls, whether it is the total or nominal salary, to allowing the head of the department to impose it once the offending employee is questioned despite the effect of this punishment on the employees' families Finally, the inequality in its impact on the employee's promotion in the number of days it is imposed, in addition to that, the administration may resort to imposing it, we think that it is a method of administrative organization without adapting it as a disciplinary punishment in the event that the employee is absent from the official working hours without a legitimate excuse.

In this research, we will deal with the legal regulation of the penalty cutoff in some detail and try to understand this topic.
