Division of monthly wages & salary

V. VASUDEVAN (Querist) 04 February 2012 This query is : Resolved
Learned Experts, Considering the Payment of Wages Act, Weekly Holidays Act and relevant labour laws, a daily rated workmen is entitled for 7 days wages, if he has worked for 6 days in a week (if wages are paid weekly) AND 30 days wages, if he has worked for 26 days in a month - month being the standard number 30 days. Premised on this law, the Payment of Gratuity Act provides for division of the monthly wages by 26, for determination of gratuity payable - 15 days per year. Accordingly for determination of leave pay (privilege leave) the monthly wages/salary should be divided by 26 AND not 26. However, many industries, particularly FMCG uses 30 as a divisible factor for leave pay, for it managerial employees. Whether this is justificable - Please advice

under the law wages/salary are determined on the basis of 48 hour in week. This means 8 hour working per day and one day weekly off.Thus for the purpose of calculation of wages per day entire wages/salary of the month is divided by 26 not by 30 days. It is every category of employee.
