The High Court ruled that predetermined penalty clauses in employment contracts regarding employee damages are invalid. Such clauses do not replace the need for the employer to prove actual damages and employee fault. Employers can seek recovery through an agreement based on a damage assessment, limited to five minimum wages. If no agreement is reached, the employer may take legal action, but cannot automatically deduct the specified amount from the employee's salary.
