All civil servants who participated in Wednesday's stay away would loss one day wages.
This comes as government ordered them to sign forms vowing not to join any future stay-aways and strikes.
Apex Council president Cecilia Alexander said these moves were calculated to intimidate workers.
Alexander said the Apex Council had engaged government over the intimidation tactics and threats not to pay full salaries.
"Yes there were civil servants who had their salaries withdrawn following the job action last week, and it's everyone who took part in the job action who was affected, but this has since been rectified following submissions made by Apex Council at a meeting on Monday," she said.
