Dear all, In manufacturing operations, a wage month is presumed to have 26 actual working days and 208 working hours(26X8). Calculation of wages, incentives etc are based on this premise. In some months there could be 27 working days and for such months the calulation is varied accordingly. So the weekly off is excluded for wage calculation purposes for the blue collar workers. However for mininsterial staff and executives, who are paid salary, the month comprises all days including weekly off. Hope the above clarifies:
