MADDE 35 · Ücretin saklı kısmı

İşçilerin aylık ücretlerinin dörtte birinden fazlası haczedilemez veya başkasına devir ve temlik olunamaz. Ancak, işçinin bakmak zorunda olduğu aile üyeleri için hakim tarafından takdir edilecek miktar bu paraya dahil değildir. Nafaka borcu alacaklılarının hakları saklıdır.
