The Factories Act only says that there shall be given one day rest after 6 days' continuous work. The Act does not say that it should be paid weekly off. Many companies calculate the salary for 30/31 days. In such cases, it is understood that Sunday wages is included. If so, contribution to ESI and PF should be for 30/31 days. At the same time, if the workers are paid for 26 days only, how pF and ESI be contributed for 30/31 days?
