Authority to Withhold and Deduct

This template is a document intended to facilitate the crafting of an Authority to Withhold and Deduct from the pay or benefits of the employee who has liability from the company.

The liability may come from loan, damages, advances, or any unaccounted sum, etc.

The company is guided by the important provisions such as acknowledgment of liability. The user has to fill out the nature of liability (e.g., loan, damages, advances, unaccounted, sum, etc.).

The document may be notarized as well. The lack of notarization will not affect the validity. However, the notarization of this instrument adds weight to the declaration of the employee and admission of liability, in case of dispute in the future.

Hence, whether or not to have the document notarized, is an option of the company depending on its policy governing the weight of the documents executed by employees.
