When the monthly salary of an employee exceeds the threshold of Rs.21000-00, he escapes from the ambit of the definition of the term " employee " u/s 2(13) of the PB Act,1965 and from then onwards he is not entitled to the statutory bonus contemplated under the Act. Till such point of time, his bonus amount shall be calculated as per section 12 of the Act applying the notional monthly salary of Rs.7000/= or the statutory minimum wages for that job WHICHEVER HIGHER IS.
