I worked in a limited company. I have only received 26 days' wages for working three shifts in this company. However, I have not been paid for my off days. Could you please advise me on how off day/rest day wages are calculated?
Thanks with regards.

Could you provide more information on your issue, such as your pay cycle period? According to statutory regulations, after working for six days, every company is obligated to provide a rest day, which is a paid day. Are there any other benefits that the company offers, such as a compensatory off facility where you must avail all the rest days within two months?
Kindly share more information so that we can provide you with advice.
