Hello there, An full-time employee has a salary of ca. 48565DKK per month. Now he took 2 days off (unpaid) per week in March. The employer sent this to HR: March 2020 22 working days, 8 days off, so salary should be 14/22nd of the normal amount. When march ended, the employee received even less than half of the normal salary amount. When we asked HR, they said, the Danish payroll provider has used this salary calculation formula: You were paid for 14 working days. The payroll calculation is as follows done by a Danish payroll provider: Annual salary divided by 12 divided by 31 days @14days = 21932.72 Gross pay Less taxes and pension = 13198.86 deposited to your bank Is this correct? Best Regards Iff |
Without calculating - just pointing out that if pension was paid in with the same amount per month and not as % af the salary - then that would explain some or alle of it
However I cannot on a quick glance understand:
Annual salary divided by 12 divided by 31 days @14days = 21932.72 Gross pay
IF the monthly salary was, as you describe 48.565 then that makes an annual salary x 12 as 582.780 (the salary per year would for "funktionærer" be the month * 12)
the calculation they use - leeds to 21.932 correctly - but why they use 31 days as an average month is a puzzle as that i wrong. There are not 31 workings days - but on average 21,66 per month - so if they wanted to use an average, it would bethe salary you mention 48.565 divided byt 21,66 days on average = per day on yearly average 2.242 kr multiplied by 14 days= 31.390 in gross pay and not 21932
It must be wrong to use 31 days up against the reduction in working days being 2/5 /which may not be exact as a month is not full weeks - but if you just used that, it would be 48.565 / 5 * 3 = 29.139 gross salary. The reason this is not the same as the 31.390 is - that a month is only 4,333 weeks on average
If you wanted to calculate hours in a month, for a person employed to do 37 hours a week, you would go:
37 hours per week * 13 weeks for a quarter = 481 hours divided in 3 month for a quarter = 160.33 hours per month - which is also the official working time
Now you got me calculating, but it is wrong what then do, and if the employee has a union membership - go that way - otherwise - take it up as best you can
