Retention of any part of the Remuneration due to the Worker or stoppage of payment thereof shall not be allowed, except in execution of a judicial judgment. In the case of retention in the execution of a judicial judgment, priority shall be for payment of the legitimate alimony over all other payments. The total of the retained amounts shall not exceed 35% of the full Remuneration of the debtor Worker. The Employer shall not charge any interest on the loan he may grant to the Worker. The Employer shall also not deduct from the Remuneration of the Worker more than 10% in fulfilment of the money he may lend to the Worker. The total of the deducted amount from the Worker's Remuneration for settlement of the deductions and debts owed by him shall not exceed 50% of the total Remuneration. If the amount to be deducted within a month is above the said percentage, the excess amount shall be postponed to the following month or months.
