Working days is a very important input while running payroll. Some scenarios are explained below.
1. Employee has joined the company on 25-May-2023. The first payroll month is selected as June-2023. System will take the number of working days in June as 37 (30+7). Refer to the article on
First Payroll Month for more details.
2. Leave Without Pay deduction - Suppose you are running June 2023 payroll and for an employee there are two LWPs, one for June 2023 and one for May 2023. The LWP deduction amount for both these days will be different since there are 31 days in May and 30 days in June. Even though you will see 30 working days in the salary register and salary slip the salary figures will be based on the two deductions.
3. Leave Without Pay reversals - If there is one day's leave without pay reversal in June 2023 then the working days would be shown as 31.
