Dear members,
What is the Correct method for salary calculation(EARNED GROSS) out of these below two methods?
Suppose Gross salary is 3,300/-
for Jan month having 25 working days, 1 NF & 5 sundays (weekly off's)
CASE 1: PERSON IS PRESENT FOR 23 DAYS
CASE 2: PERSON IS PRESENT FOR 2 DAYS ONLY
Method 1 (TRADITIONAL): FOR CASE 1: (3300/31)*29 = 3087/-
FOR CASE 2: (3300/31)*2 = 213/-
Method 2 (as i understood from Payment of Wages act, Factories Act and as told by some labour lawyers also)
For Case 1: (3300/25) *23 + (one day for NF) = 3168/-
For Case 2: (3300/25) *2 + (one day for NF) = 396/-
Kindly give your valuable inputs.

Hi manish !
As i concern your 1st Method is right i.e.
Method 1 (TRADITIONAL): FOR CASE 1: (3300/31)*29 = 3087/-
FOR CASE 2: (3300/31)*2 = 213/-
if we go for the second method then your monthly salary amount will be Rs. 3564 which is not match with the actual salary..
if some one suggest for the second method then ask him that if some one will present throughout the month his salary will be Rs. 3300/- and when we will be take leave for 2 days salary will be going to Rs.3564/- and what will be the salary structure.

Hi,
Thee r two types of salaries.
1. Daily Wages: physical working days wil be considered except NF&H.
2. Monthly Salary: Need to calculate including sundays.
Exp:
1. Rate per day * physical worked days+NF&H.
2. Fixed gross salary / 30* physical woked days+sundays+NF&H+Payable leaves.
any doughts kindly revert

I would like to give some inputs.
I think it depends on how the employment agreement is with the employee. If you have hired him / her with the payment term as "Monthly Salary" or "Annucal CTC" then i think the first method would work.
But if he or she is a labor or contractor who works on "Per Day" basis, then I think the second method would work.
I am not sure if this is correct legally. Comments and criticism are welcome.!

Dear amiya,
if someone is present for full 25 days in jan month then his salary will be:
(3300/25) *25 + NF = 3432/-
and if he takes two unpaid leaves then (3300/25) * 23 + NF = 3168/-
and if he takes two paid leaves then (3300/25) * 25 + NF = 3432/-
Dear Mahesh,
kindly go through section 7 of Payment of wages act: which clearly state that Employers are authorized for deduction of wages only for actual period of absence.
Now actual period of absence in my above mentioned cases are 2 and 23.
so wage should be calculated acc. to method no.2.!!!
there is one more thing The act applies only to persons whose gross wage is <=10,000 per month.

Dear All,
Amiya is absolutely right and I am also suggesting the first (Traditional) method of calculating the wages per month.
And also it depends upon that the company is paying on the basis of the Daily rate bases or on the monthly basis. ?????
But according to the calculation and all other things, the first method is surely suitable and easy.

I have a different take on this - and this has been implemented successfully.
1. Usually, a month has 4 weeks (7x4=28) + 2 working days (or 3 in case of 31 days).
2. 4 weeks have 24 working days + 4 weekly (mandatory) offs.
3. 24 working day + 2 (3) days = 26 (27) working days per month.
4. The Gross divided by 26 (in this case it is 3300/26 = Rs 127 per day).
5. Days-without-pay will entail loss of pay calculated on the the daily pay, ie Rs 127. Also, if a employee join the orgn mid-way of the month, his wages will be calculated on this daily amount.
6. A month, in many organisations and even by the Govt, is 30 days.
7. Many Managements' see this basic calculation results in small benefit of the employees and, without upset the fin budget, increases the morale of the work-force.
8. As HR, we must put up various solutions (as given in these col) and get approved.

Mr. Manish
First we have to understand following points.
As per Factory act one paid leave is compulsory on completion of 48 hours work it means sunday treated as paid leave, paid leave means consider in numbers of days in a month, therefore when we calculating salary consider 30 days for permanent employee and for temporary worker consider 26 days as in this case salary given on numbers of day worked.
This is my view...

Dear All HR Practitioners,
We should work according to laws and not according to the standards set!.
if law provides more salary, then we should opt for it.
the question i asked is that acc. to labor laws traditional method is ok or the lawyers method is ok??
