12. How to expect your salary – explaining the calculation

Let’s use an example here. You were informed that your salary would be USD $1,600 monthly while on probation.

You will divide USD $1,60 by 30 days >>>> USD $53.33 per day.

For most companies, payments are made every two weeks. So you will multiply this daily rate X 14 >>> U$746.66.

U$746.66 X 2 = U$ 1,493.33

Note that you got paid for 28 days, and the next two days to complete the U$106.66 will come on the next pay / next month. Eventually, at least once during your contract, you will get paid 3 X that month, compensating for those “days.”

Example: You will get paid on Day 1 / again on Day 15 / again on Day 29.

Gratuities and tips are variable, and you should not “count” on them. Some companies will pay gratuities only once per month, on last pay.

If you have any additional questions about this, please make sure to ask your Cast-A-Way recruiter.
