Whether an establishment is registered under The Factories Act or The Shop & Establishment Act, one weekly off is payable to any regular employee working 6 days a week.
This means that the weekly working hours total to 8 hours x 6 days, which equals 48 hours. Adding the mandatory 8 hours of weekly off, the total becomes 56 hours.
Therefore, the salary should be calculated as follows:
Number of hours actually worked during the month divided by 48, multiplied by 56, and then multiplied by the hourly salary calculated by you as follows:
One-hour salary = CTC / Total number of working hours in a month.
For example, Rs. 10000 / 240 hours = Rs. 41.66.
Alternatively, calculate the per-hour salary as Rs. 10000 / (26 * 8) = Rs. 48.08 per hour actually worked.
The result in both cases will be the same.
