For payment of Bonus - Should we consider, the actual number of days worked or the number of days paid for considering 30 days.
Secondly, if an employee has worked & paid only 28 days in the year but he is an active employee in the year bonus is paid, should we consider him for a bonus payment.

Dear All,
On Bonus issue, Veteran Mr. M.Umakanthan had clearly clarified and indirectly backed-up by Dr.P.Sivakumar that 30 working days in the accounting year is must, which means :-
a. 30 working days mean payment of wages for 30 days;
b. on Leave of any kind/nature with payment - total of 30 days (leave with wages + actual worked days)
The payment of Bonus Act is unambiguous
Thanks
