Hello Everyone. I have a doubt about the calculation of salary based on attendance. Shall we take present days or the number of absent days?
Anyone has any documentary proof for this please upload it and suggest it to me on that?

When calculating salary based on attendance, typically, you would consider the number of present days rather than the number of absent days. Here’s why:

1. **Basic Principle**: Salary is usually paid for the days an employee is present and actively working. Absences are typically unpaid unless covered under specific leave policies (like paid leave, sick leave, etc.).

2. **Legal Compliance**: According to most labor laws and regulations, salary is calculated based on the actual days an employee has attended work. This ensures compliance with wage laws and fairness in payment.

3. **Company Policy**: Most organizations have policies that specify how attendance affects salary calculation. These policies often outline whether absences without valid reasons lead to deduction of pay or if leaves are provided under specific conditions.

4. **Proof and Documentation**: While there may not be a single document that universally proves this principle, it’s widely accepted in labor practices and legal frameworks. Employment contracts, company policies, and labor law interpretations in your jurisdiction would provide the necessary backing.

Therefore, in practice, when calculating salary:

- **Present Days**: Calculate salary based on the number of days an employee was present and performed their duties as required.
- **Absent Days**: Absences without approved leave may lead to deductions or non-payment for those specific days, depending on company policy and applicable labor laws.

To ensure clarity and fairness, it’s recommended to have clear policies documented in your employee handbook or employment contracts regarding attendance, leaves, and salary calculation methods. Always consult with HR professionals or legal advisors to align with specific legal requirements and company policies in your jurisdiction.
