Dear HR Consultants,
Greetings...!!!
An employee with a salary of Rs. 70,000 per month joined my company on 20th March 2017. How much do I have to pay him for his March salary?
I calculated one day's salary as 70,000/30 = 2333.33 (Considering 30 days in March as the standard, even though February has fewer days).
Payable Salary: 70,000 - (19 x 2333.33 {Number of absent days}) = 25667
Is this method correct for salary calculation? Please advise.
Best Regards,

Dear Anonymous,
If you calculate salary as per 30 days every month, then you are paying only for 360 days. Therefore, it is best that you take the number of days of each month to calculate the salary. Here you have taken 11 days as his present days, but in actuality, he has worked for 12 days. So, you are paying him for one day less on paper. According to calculations, the difference is just Rs. 75, but the records show that he is present for only 11 days and not 12 days.
This discrepancy will also affect the number of days for Gratuity in the long run. If his salary is calculated based on fewer days due to leaves he has taken, it will impact the total days considered for Gratuity. There won't be any issue if he is present for the entire month, but even a single leave will alter the number of present days.
