The previous threshold was 80%. For a company with 200 employees, that means at least 170 must receive timely wages \u2014 up from 160. Missing by even one employee group can trigger penalties for the entire pay cycle.<\/p>\n<h3>15% Deduction Cap<\/h3>\n<p>Legal deductions (advances, loans, accommodation) are capped at <strong>15% of gross monthly salary<\/strong> per payment cycle \u2014 down from 20%.
