Those employees who regularly go on business trips are interested in the question of wages during a business trip. How the payment is calculated correctly, as well as answers to other popular questions.
How is the calculation of wages on a business trip
For all the days when the employee is on a business trip, the employer must pay him average wages (Article 167 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The average salary does not have to be equal to the salary.
Manking on a business trip is calculated according to the following scheme: average wages = average salary per day * The number of travel days.
To calculate this formula, first of all, it is necessary to calculate the average daily wage. It depends on such factors:
- How much time the employee managed to work at the enterprise before the start of the business trip.
- The wages that he received during this period.
How is the calculated period carried out?
- If the employee works at the company for more than 1 year, then the estimated period is taken for the previous 12 months before his business trip.
- In the event that the employee works for less than 1 year, the calculated period begins from the moment of his device to the last working day before the business trip.
- If the employee goes on a business trip on his first working month, the estimated period begins on the first and the last day before the business trip.
- In the event that the employee did not manage to work out for a day and immediately went on a business trip, the calculation of wages during a business trip is charged, based on the average daily salary of his salary.
Actually accrued wages
In fact, the accrued salary is absolutely all the payments that were accrued to the employee in the estimated period. These include: wages, all bonuses and allowances. The period of incapacity for work, vacation and travel days do not take into account.
Average earnings per day = all payments for the estimated period / number of working days.
Then the average daily salary is multiplied by the number of business trips, including the day of departure, as well as arrival. The total amount is a wage during a business trip. Other working days are paid by the installed salary.
How is the payment of days on a business trip if they fall on the weekend?
If the business trip is on weekends or holidays, then the work is paid based on the wage system installed by the employer at the choice of the employee. The average wage on weekends is not charged.
So the employee can choose how to get compensation on a business trip: get no less than double payment for a festive or weekend on a business trip or receive a weekend compensation for another working day of his own free will.
When does the employee receive payment for a business trip?
The procedure and size of compensation for travel expenses depend on which organization a person works in. For example, if it serves in federal state bodies, then the rules are established by acts of the Government of the Russian Federation. Local self -government bodies issue their acts with the rules. For most sector of private companies, the rules and amounts of reimbursement of expenses are determined by the internal provisions of the employer.
As a rule, money for a business trip is charged along with the actual wage (with an advance or with the main part). In some cases, a salary on a business trip is much less than its usual monthly salary. In such cases, the employer must pay the missing amount to the employee’s salary. This function must be prescribed in the employment contract, or in a separate provision on the company’s business trips.
Wages on business trips, features
Each company may have its own accrual features, but all of them should be charged according to the established law of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, and are clearly spelled out in the order on a business trip.
If the employee has hourly pay, for one unit they take wages for 1 working hour. The actual salary is divided by the number of working hours.
