Salary - Salary Caluculation

Dear Sir,
As per our policy we do not consider Sunday at the time salary.
Our Salary calculation are as under:
Monthly Salary : Rs. 35000
November total days except Sunday :26 Days
35000/26=1346 X present days.
Now the employee is absent from 16th November to 20th November that means he is absent for 5 days.
In this regards shall l consider Sunday in absent days or what as Sunday comes in-between absent days .
Regards
Sujata

Hi Sujata,
It is little ambiguous...
You should better prepare a policy on "intervening of holidays & weekly offs between leaves/ absents" and you can make it as a part of Leave Policy / payroll policy. Take your employer suggestion and follow their guidelines before prepare. But be cautious, it is a very sensitive issue from the employees point of view. If you wont address immediately, it will be come very complicated in future. Make sure you resolve such problems diplomatically.

Hi sujata,
As per common rule we should add up the Sunday and other govt holidays for calculating attendance as a month. However you have following except Sunday basis, please make some policies and procedures for these type of aspects, otherwise it becomes a critical part of your job to convince each employee in this regard.

Sujitha,
Well said Vasanthi.In many companies total no. of days in a month are considered for payroll such as 31, 30, 28 etc. In general companies process all national holidays and weekly off (Sundays) as paid days. But it is recommended to have always a standard policy in writing. Please initiate a policy as soon as possible.

Dear Sujitha,
Since you are not paying salary for sunday you should not consider sunday for LOP calculation.. Absent days between 16th to 20th is 4 days only.
Only in Company covered under Factories Act will follow 26 days policy.

Hi Sujata
I am in line with the response of Vasanthi..It`s better to frame the policies and procedures in writing for such situations to avoid future conflicts.

Hi! Sujatha,
First better you have to frame the SOP & Leave policy approved by your top management.Actually regarding your subject,if the employee is not present on weekend & week beginning i.e.Saturday and Monday.Sunday is calculated as a LOP. If the employee is present on Saturday or on Monday Sunday is calculated as payable day.
