Employees are paid on a monthly basis, irrespective of the number of days worked in the month for a given number of hours worked. The monthly payment neutralises the consequences of the unequal distribution of days between the twelve months of the year.
For hours equivalent to the legal weekly working time, the monthly pay due to the employee is calculated by multiplying the hourly pay by 52/12 of the legal weekly working time.
Remuneration is paid once a month. An advance payment corresponding to half the monthly pay for a fortnight will be made to any employee who requests it.
These provisions do not apply to employees working from home, seasonal employees, intermittent employees or temporary employees.
