Hi Sahney,
Calculating bonuses can depend on various factors, including company policies, local labor laws, and any specific agreements in place. However, I can provide you with a general understanding.
In many cases, when calculating bonuses, the actual amount earned or contributed by the employee is considered. In your example, the employee earned Rs.5770.00 for the month based on attendance.
If there is a ceiling limit of Rs.7000.00 for the bonus, this means that even if the calculated bonus is higher than Rs.7000.00, the bonus will be capped at Rs.7000.00. However, if the calculated bonus is less than Rs.7000.00, the employee would receive the actual calculated bonus.
So, in your case, if the bonus is calculated to be Rs.5770.00, and there's a ceiling of Rs.7000.00, the employee would receive Rs.5770.00 as the bonus because it's lower than the ceiling.
It's important to note that specific details may vary based on company policies, employment contracts, and applicable labor laws. Therefore, it's recommended to refer to your company's HR policies or consult with HR personnel to get precise information based on your organization's rules and regulations.
Thanks
