Form of pay over time:
Time-based payroll is a form of paying employees according to working time such as: hourly, daily or monthly.
In fact, there are 2 ways of calculating salaries in enterprises as follows:
Way 1: Monthly salary = (Salary + Add-on) / standard working day of the month * actual number of working days
In this way, the monthly salary of the employee will usually be a fixed number, only reduced if the employee has paid leave, the deductible amount for each day of paid leave is equally fixed, how many days the employee is deducted and vice versa, the month of working full working days will enjoy the full salary according to the salary according to as prescribed by the enterprise.
Way 2: Monthly salary = ((Salary + Additives if any)/26) * actual working day
According to this calculation, the monthly salary of employees is no longer a fixed figure because of different monthly standard working days, for example, the month with months of 28, 30, 31 days will have the standard month of 24 days, 26 days or 27 days, respectively.
With this way of paying wages, when workers take paid leave, they should consider which months to take leave so that their income has the least impact, but this can affect the production and business situation of the business when many employees massively choose to take time off in the months with large public holidays to reduce the deductible wages.
Therefore, monthly salary calculated in the 2nd way is unstable for employees. These two payroll calculations will result in two different salary results. The calculation of salary in which way the enterprise will be clearly shown on the labor contract or in the company's salary regulations.
