Dear Friends,
Here the question raised is, how do we calculate monthly wage if the prescribed wage as per the Govt. Notification is only"DAILY WAGE". There is no doubt that in order to calculate "DAILY WAGE" from notified monthly wage, the monthly wage is to be divided by twenty six.
But how do we calculate the monthly wage if the Govt. notification gives only "DAILY WAGE" and is totally silent about the monthly wage. As far as I understand, even a workman who works continuously for six days has to be paid for rest day and the payment for the rest day cannot be less than the notified "DAILY WAGE".
In other words, it would mean that a workman will have to be paid for twenty six days that he actually works in a month and for four rest days to which he is entitled as per law in case the Govt notification is silent with regard to monthly wage (i.e. a total for thirty days.)
Pls. guide me if my interpretation is wrong.
