Computation of Wages
Monthly-paid employees: Are those whom you pay every day of the month, including unworked rest days, special days and regular holidays.
The formula for the EMR of monthly paid employees is:
EMR = (Applicable Daily Rate x 365)/12
The factor of 365 days consists of: 302 ordinary working days, 51 rest days, 10 regular holidays, and 2 special days.
Daily-paid employees: Are those whom you pay for days actually worked and on unworked regular holidays.
The EMR of daily-paid employees depends on whether they are required to work on rest days and holidays.
The EMR of employees who are required to work every day including Sundays or rest days, special days and regular holidays is:
EMR = (Applicable Daily Rate x 391.50)/12
The factor of 391.5 days consists of: 302 ordinary working days, 20.60 (9 regular holidays x 200% plus one regular holiday/Sunday*260%), 66.3 (51 rest days x 130%), 2.6 (2 special days x 130%).
The EMR of daily-paid employees depends on whether they are required to work on rest days and holidays.
The EMR of employees who do not work and are not considered paid on Sundays or rest days is:
EMR = (Applicable Daily Rate x 314)/12
