Shop follows the exact minimum wages as salary, and if a worker is absent for 10 days, will the salary deduction for absence cause trouble with minimum wages? If ESI and PF are being deducted after these deductions, is that wrong, and is the shop in trouble? Also, how should the salary for February (for 24 days) be calculated?

Dear friend,
When the actual attendance of an employee covered by the statutory minimum wages falls short in the whole wage period, i.e., a month, he is not entitled to wages for the days of unauthorized absence and his salary has to be calculated proportionately and paid. Certainly, such salary for a lesser number of days worked would be less than the normal monthly salary. It cannot be treated as lesser payment.
Normally, to arrive at daily wages, the monthly wages shall be divided by 26, and to arrive at the monthly wages, the daily rate shall be multiplied by 30.
If you want to be precisely exact regarding the month of February, which is always less than 30 days, take the total number of days minus the number of weekly holidays in the month.
