How much Eid do the workers get this year? Table – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr reporter, all employees subject to the labor law, who are known as “workers” according to the definition of this law, are entitled to Eid and year-end bonus. This group’s holiday is different from the amount of holiday for executive and government employees and it is different according to the amount of “basic salary”.
The basis of workers’ Eid payment, if they have a history of paying insurance premiums for a full year at their workplace, the maximum (workers’ Eid ceiling) is 12 million 539 thousand 250 Tomans and the minimum (workers’ Eid floor) is 8 million 359 thousand 500 Tomans
Workers who have paid insurance premiums for less than one year, i.e. from one to 11 months, are entitled to a year-end holiday. This category of workers receive an Eid in the amount of “twice the basic salary listed in the pay slip, divided by 12, multiplied by the number of months of work”.
For example, a worker who receives the minimum salary approved by the Ministry of Labor in 1401, i.e. 4 million 179 thousand 750 tomans, and has one month of work experience, according to the Eid calculation formula, should receive 696 thousand 625 tomans, and a worker who earns the same basic amount salary, he has 11 months of work experience, he should receive 7 million 662 thousand 875 Tomans. It is emphasized that the calculated amount of holiday is only for workers who receive “minimum salary of 1401” and in other words are in the first year of entering the labor market.
The allowance of other employees with more than one year of experience, whose basic salary is definitely more than the “approved minimum salary”, will also be according to the mentioned formula, with the difference that the basic salary included in the pay slip will be the basis for calculating their allowance. In other words, if the base salary is 5 million tomans, this number should be included in the formula and calculate Eid.
Workers’ holiday and bonus are usually deposited by employers along with February salaries, but there is no legal prohibition to deposit it with March salaries either.
In the table below, the amount of Eid for minimum wage workers (those whose base salary is 4,179,750 tomans) is calculated in proportion to the number of months of work.
