Dear Manaj,
With due respect,I beg to differ with your views. In terms of appointment letter new employee will join on and from 3rd of the month if it is so , he is eligible for salary from 3rd as because he was not the employee of company the prior to 3rd.His joining formalities including attendance will commence from 3rd onward in terms of appointment letter.Hence, he is not eligible for full month salary.
If appointment letter stipulates saying that his date of joining is 1st of the month, then will be eligible for full month salary and accordingly all joining formalities will be made.
