In Mozambique, when an employee works only part of a month, their salary is prorated to ensure fair compensation. Here’s a straightforward explanation of how salary proration works:
Proration Process:
Calculate Daily Salary: Determine the daily rate by dividing the monthly salary by the total number of calendar days in that month.
Multiply by Days Worked: Multiply the daily rate by the number of days the employee worked.
Example:
Scenario: An employee earns $1,500 per month but only works for 15 days in a month with 30 days (e.g., September).
Determine Daily Salary: Divide $1,500 by 30 days to get $50 per day.
Calculate Prorated Salary: Multiply $50 by the 15 days worked.
Result: The prorated salary for the 15 days worked is $750.
