No. Of Days To Be Considered For Salary Calculation

Hi members,
I have been through the replies of members and found that most of them are considering 30 days for the calculation of salary.
But here i have a doubt to all those who are calculating taking 30 days as base for salary.
1. If the no. of working days in a month is less like compensatory off as we usually see them in manufacturing sector.
If you come across such situations how you are calculating the salary.
2. As per our laws we take 26 days as standard for calculating EL, gratuity etc from where we understand that weekly off's are not taken as paid rest days.

Hi,
compensatory-off is given to all employees who have worked on their non-working days i.e WEEKLY OFFS like Saturdays, public holiday and Sundays. Since this comp off is going to be counted as paid working day, so the calculation of salary would be on 30 days.
The calculation of GRATUITY AND EL is on 26 days because we do not count all 4 sundays while calculating the same.

Hi Katyana,
Thanks for your reply, but my actual question is when we take 26 days into consideration for all statutory compliances , which means weekly off's are not taken into account then why should we take 30 days for the purpose of calculating salary.
