How to Use The Pay Rate Table
Step 1: Collate Attendance Info
Gather all data regarding your employees’ attendance. This includes lates, absences, and leaves.
Step 2: Get Base Pay
Salary computation banks on your employee’s base pay. Check out their records for this information.
For minimum wage earners, check out the National Wages and Productivity Commission’s (NWPC) summary per region published in June 2020.
Step 3: Plot Workdays
Next, plot your employee’s workdays on a calendar, and see if they coincide with:
- Regular Holidays
- Special Non-Working Holidays
- Rest Days
An employee’s eight-hour workday can fall under two different classifications. For example, work can start at 10:00 PM on a regular workday and end at 7:00 AM on a rest day.
Step 4: Plot Work Hours
Additionally, check if the work hours that they rendered fall under:
- Night Differential (10:00 PM – 6:00 AM)
- Overtime
Similar to workdays, work hours in one period can also be categorized differently.
For example, an employee worked from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM the next day. Work rendered from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM falls under regular pay. Work rendered from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM is subject to a night differential. Meanwhile, work from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM entitles them to a night differential coupled with overtime premium.
Step 5: Calculate
Once you have plotted the nuances of each employees’ attendance, you can move forward to computing for their salaries and wages.
Below is a sample computation for work rendered on a holiday spilling over a rest day with night differential and overtime.
Notes:
- Hourly Rate is ₱100
- Meal break is from 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM
There you have it—a straightforward guide to calculating for overtime, holiday premiums, and more. Apply these five steps to the month’s timesheets to get your employee’s salaries and wages.
