How is the salary for fifteen (15) days calculated for workers without a fixed monthly salary?

The calculation of salary for a period, such as fifteen days, for workers without a fixed monthly salary is based on their average daily salary (ADS). This method ensures that the payment reflects the actual earnings of the worker based on their variable income, which fluctuates over time due to the nature of the work or employment arrangements.

To determine the average daily salary, you typically take the total earnings over a specified period and divide it by the number of days worked during that period. By using the ADS for this calculation, employers can accurately compensate workers even if their earnings vary from month to month, thereby adhering to the principles of fairness and equity in employment practices.

In this context, the other choices do not apply as appropriately. The highest monthly salary received in the past year or the average monthly earnings over the last six months could misrepresent current earning conditions. The total amount earned for the last fifteen days worked would not provide a daily framework for ongoing calculation, which is crucial for consistency and fairness.
