Dear Seniors, kindly clear my doubts as mentioned below: If I am getting Rs. 10,000.00, then in the month of February, how much salary would I get as there are only 28 or 29 days in this month? Kindly clear my doubts as per general HR policies ASAP.

Your gross salary would not be reflected in the total days in the month, but it would be based on your number of working days in the month.
Gross Salary Calculation
Gross Salary = ₹10,000/- per month of February
= ₹10,000/28 * number of working days
= ₹10,000/28 * 28 = ₹10,000
= if your working days are 27, then = ₹10,000/28 * 27 = ₹9,643
March Salary Calculation
= ₹10,000/31 * 31 = ₹10,000/-
If it is 30 days, then
= ₹10,000/31 * 30 = ₹9,677
= ₹10,000

If the above-mentioned amount is your gross salary, please also provide your basic salary as you will receive your monthly salary for 28 days after the deduction of PF (12% on basic) and ESIC (1.75% on gross salary). Following this process, you will receive your net salary for 28 days in February.
Thank you.

I think you need to understand the difference between a daily wager and a monthly paid employee. You will continue to receive the same salary regardless of the number of days in a month unless you have taken unpaid leave after using up your accumulated leave entitlement.

Please understand the difference between monthly salary and daily wages. Your gross salary will not be affected as it is irrespective of the number of days in the month if you have not availed any Leave Without Pay (LWP). However, your net salary depends upon your basic salary as the Provident Fund (PF) deduction depends upon it.
I hope all the inputs from all site members have cleared your doubts.

It doesn't matter whether there are 31 days, 30 days, or 28 days. If you are on a contractual or daily basis, then you can count these types of days. Otherwise, your salary would remain the same. For your information, we always calculate the monthly salary divided by 26 days in a month, regardless of whether the month has 30 or 31 days. If you mark yourself absent for one day, you should calculate the gross salary/26. This calculation does not include Sundays. If you have any queries, feel free to write to us, as the overtime formula is different.

Salary Calculation for Monthly and Daily Rated Employees
If you are a monthly-rated employee (an employee whose salary is paid on a monthly basis), you will receive a full Rs 10,000 per month, whether that month is February with 28 days, April with 30 days, or May with 31 days. If you are a daily-rated employee, your wages will be paid based on the number of days you worked in a month.

Hi, you work in a company in which you get monthly salary not on daily wedges salary so it doesn’t matter that how many days in a month. You must be getting full salary.

It is natural that you will be eligible for the full month's salary in February, whether it has 28 or 29 days. If the employee has worked all the working days in February, the full salary is required to be paid.

To make it clearer (or to confuse you more), I would say the following:
As regards to daily-rated employees:
Rate per day multiplied by the number of days worked or payable. There should not be any ambiguity.
As regards to monthly-rated employees:
Rate per month means your salary per month inclusive of your weekly off days and holidays. When you work the full month without any loss of pay days, you should receive your full salary.
In most corporations, the dividing factor to calculate the rate per day is the number of calendar days.
However, long years ago, I saw a company that used 30 as a fixed dividing factor in all months regardless of calendar days. It was explained to me that this is an "American style." Salary is calculated based on the loss of pay days. This means that the salary for lost days is subtracted from the monthly rate. Monthly salary is given to staff or white-collar employees, and the company presumes that such categories generally do not have any loss of pay days.
I hope I have managed to confuse you. I simply wanted to share what I know.

Presumably, you are in the salary class of employees wherein the remuneration is paid on a monthly basis and not on a daily basis. That being the case, it should not make any difference in the salary amount based on the number of days in the month. Perhaps you were never paid for one extra day in the months that have 31 days; likewise, there should not be a cut in salary for February, having 28 days or 29 days once in 4 years.

Salary Calculation Formula
The formula is simple (which I am giving to employees). You will get as below mentioned:
Your monthly gross salary divided by the number of days in the month except for weekly offs (Sunday), multiplied by the number of days you have worked = the amount you will receive. (Overtime and weekly off work will depend on the organization's policy on payment).

When salary/wages are payable on a monthly basis, the number of days in a month does not affect the quantum of salary/wages. However, when leave is availed, deductions towards the same shall be based on the days in the month. That is, salary divided by the number of days in the month multiplied by the number of days present.
