Decrease from his salary

[Horizens]

Is the word "decrease" in this context correct : "the embloyee was absent from work. Because he was very sick there was no decrease in his salary"?

A decrease in his salary would change the amount that he is paid throughout the year.
Because he had a note from his doctor, they didn't dock his pay. ..., they didn't deduct anything from his paycheck.

Yes, it's a deduction, not a decrease.

Thank you. But, does the term "deduction" has synonyms in more simple terms?
