The term " employee " as defined u/s 2(13) of the Payment of Bonus Act,1965 gets limited in its application to those whose monthly salary or wage does not exceed Rs.21000/= per mensem w.e.f 01-04-2014. Section 8 of the PB Act,1965 prescribes working for a minimum of 30 working days in the establishment during an accounting year as the condition of eligibility for an employee to be paid bonus. Sections 10 and 11 of the Act which deal with the payment of minimum and maximum bonus respectively under the Act link the respective payment in certain percentage to the total salary or wage earned by the employee in an accounting year only. Therefore, whether one is an "on-roll employee" or an "off-roll employee" in the establishment and the actual no. of working days and weekly holidays in a month are not relevant for the purpose of calculation of his bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act,1965 as long as he satisfies sections 2(13) and 8 of the Act.
