§ 193. Employees summoned as witnesses in criminal cases—Deduction from salary or leave prohibited

Every employer is hereby prohibited from deducting from the salary or from vacation or sick leave of their employees, the days and hours that an employee, duly summoned by the prosecutor or a court, must use when appearing as a witness in a criminal case. This prohibition shall likewise apply to summons as witnesses in procedures involving minors in which the attributed offense would constitute a crime if the child were an adult.
