The answer

It is permissible for an employee to take his right without the employer's knowledge if they had agreed upon it, or if labor law compliant with Sharia guaranteed it and the employer denied it, and the employee found no other way to obtain it. This falls under the issue of "seizing one's right." However, if the employee anticipates the employer's denial and takes the money without his knowledge preemptively, this is not permissible; it is a form of consuming people's wealth unlawfully and a breach of trust.
