A Days Pay.
There are no hard & fast rules for calculating a days pay for an employee who starts mid way through a pay period.
For a weekly paid employee you could merely divide the normal weeks pay by the number of days worked.
Thus an enployee on £450.00 for a 5 day week would have a days pay of 450/5 = £90.00.
If the employee receives a monthly salary then you could divide the salary by 260 (5 days * 52 weeks) to give the days rate.
Thus 25000 yearly salary gives 25000/260 = £96.16. Please note that in a particular year there can be a different number of working days.
