Hi Seniors,
Please guide me if the employee worked 6 days a week, is the employee entitled to get one paid weekly off as per the Factory Act? The issue pertains to the calculation of salary. For instance, if an employee's salary is 6000 per month, what formula should be used to calculate the salary - is it 6000/26 or 6000/30?
Thanks & Regards

There are two types of salary calculating formats. The first is monthly, and the second is based on 26 days.
In the monthly case, the calculation is (total present + holiday) / 30, while in the 26 days format, the calculation is total present / 26.

If particular employee is on roll then that should be on 30 days as per month wise. Onroll employees salary is considered 30 days

Employees are entitled for 1 day off after every day of work. Calculations are to be done on 26 days formula.

The Factories Act 1948 prescribes a day of rest after a worker is engaged for 6 days. It does not prescribe paid time off, unlike the Shops & Establishment Act. Do not be confused and question why it is 26 days. You calculate for every month normally, and at the end of the year, you will find them in order. For example, in February, you will have fewer days.

Sir,
Yes, I am confused about whether to calculate by 26 or 30 days. However, in this forum, some of the seniors have replied differently in this regard. Please explain to me with the rule that should I calculate the salary for 26 days or 30 days. If for 26 days, why? Anyone, please explain the same.

Factories Act does not say that there should be a "paid weekly off" for workers, and for that matter, no law states so.
While making wage or salary calculations many years ago, there used to be a system of dividing salary/wage by the calendar days of the month. In this method, the salary rate would change every month, with the highest rate per day in February. However, people soon discovered a flaw in the system. They began taking time off in January (the month with the lowest rate) and requesting compensatory time off in February (the month with the highest rate).
As a result, this method was discontinued, and 30 days of the calendar were utilized. After some time, the Gratuity Act was amended, and a denominator of 26 was prescribed for calculating the per day rate, regardless of the denominator used.
Now, it is advisable to divide by 26 the Salary/Wage multiplied by the days present or payable, ignoring all weekly offs of any month. This ensures a uniform rate throughout. Therefore, dividing by 26 is the best method for calculating salary.
