Salary structure in telecom is tricky!

a product manager

Hourly Rate = (Annual Salary ÷ 12 months) ÷ (Number of working hours per month) For instance, if an employee earns ₹6,00,000 per year and works 40 hours per week (approx. 160 hours per month): Hourly Rate = (₹6,00,000 ÷ 12) ÷ 160 = ₹3,125 per hour This basic formula provides a foundation, but it’s adjusted for variables like overtime and shift-based work.
