No. Unless the employer is a signer on the account s/he can not withdraw funds from the account. There are very serious penalties for anyone either taking money or giving money from someone else's bank account. An employer can, however, reverse a direct deposit made into an employee's bank account, so it can seem like a withdrawal, but it really isn't. (For example, if a direct deposit were made in an incorrect amount, it could be reversed for the purpose of correcting it.)
