is it correct to say?
"You are considered absent from work on last Monday for not answering work- related calls, and there will be deduction from your salary"
This message sent to someone who works from home. Is it grammatically correct ?
Does it need rephrasing?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

It is understandable, but can be improved.
"You are considered" is present-tense, but "on last Monday" refers to a past-tense event. Even though it is accurate that he is still 'considered' absent now as well as then. So I would have written:
"You were considered absent from work last Monday for not answering work-related calls, and there will be a deduction from your salary."
Even better would be to put the time first, then the status, then the result:
"Last Monday you were considered absent for not answering work-related calls; there will be a deduction from your salary."
