Hello everyone,

I want to confirm the calculation of salary. Suppose the salary of an employee is around 50,000 per month. How do we calculate the salary for the 30th day month? How do we calculate the salary for the month of 31st day? How do we calculate the 28th day salary in Pakistan?

If the company calculates my salary as 50,000 per month on the 31st day of every month, and in September, I have worked for a full month of 30 days. But as of the 31st day: Salary per day is 1612.9, and the 30 days salary amounts to 48,387.0. However, if I have worked for a whole month, why is the salary deducted here? Please tell me the correct method of calculation.

The salary is paid for the full month, irrespective of the no. of days in the month. Wages are calculated by multiplying the wage per day with the no. of days actually worked.

Hi,

Suppose the salary of an employee is around 50,000 per month. In case of loss of pay, the calculation should be as follows:

How do we calculate the salary for the 30th day month? 50000 * Number of days (Payable) / 30 = Salary amount (50000 x 29 / 30) = 48,333

How do we calculate the salary for the month of the 31st day? 50000 * Number of days (Payable) / 31 = Salary amount (50000 x 28 / 31) = 45,161

How do we calculate the 28th day salary? 50000 * Number of days (Payable) / 28 = Salary amount (50000 x 26 / 28) = 46,429

Hope the above is in order.

Regards,

Dear Mr. Suresh,

When calculating wages/salary, Sundays should not be included. Therefore, only 26 days are considered.

In a year, the total number of days = 365. Total Sundays = 52. Balance working days = 313 days / 12 months = 26.08 days, i.e., it can be rounded down to 26 days.

Hence, for all months, whether January, February, or April, 26 days should be considered.

Divide the monthly salary by 26 and multiply it by the number of days present. You can also provide justification to your management/employees accordingly.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to raise them here.

Dear Mr. S Bhaskar,

With due respect, I would like to submit the following in relation to the calculation of wages due to absenteeism:

What formula do you employ for employees who work five days a week? Is it 365-104=261/12=21.75 days, i.e., 22?

As an example, suppose an employee earns Rs. 26,000/- per month, and his daily wage is Rs. 26,000/26 = Rs. 1,000 per day. If he is absent for one day in September, his salary for the next 25 days will be Rs. 25,000/-. When divided by the number of days in September, he will receive a salary of Rs. 26,000*29/30 = Rs. 25,133.

As the MW is inclusive of weekly offs and payable for a full month's presence, the 26-day divisor is used to arrive at the daily wage under the Minimum Wage Act.

With Kind Regards,

Suresh
