Dear Gayatri,
worker would be paid for maiximum working days. means it depend on month. if month is 31 n weekly off is 04 then it would be paid 27, if month is 30 and weekly of are 04 then it would be paid for 26.
wages is fix only of rmaximum working days.
for any query feel free to call me.

Gayatri,
For daily paid worker, the multiplication factor is 30/31 as the case may be, to arrive the monthly wages as the worker is eligible for rest day wages (sunday). If you divide the monthly wages to calculate the daily wages, the factor is 26/27 as the case may be.
