1 What Is a Prorated Salary?  What Is a Prorated Salary? Salary basis means the employee receives a specific amount of pay each payday, which makes up all or part of her pay. Ordinarily, this amount cannot be reduced or deducted -- the employee must receive the full salary amount, regardless of days worked.
If an employee does not work the entire pay period and the employer deducts from his salary and pays him for only the days he worked, the employer is prorating salary. To prorate salary, the deduction must be permissible under federal or state law and must be made in full day increments only.or example, if the employee is hired on the fourth day of the weekly pay period, the employer pays him for two days only -- Thursday and Friday. To arrive at the daily rate, the employer divides the annual salary by the number of days the employee works for the year.
