What is pro rata meaning in salary?

[Noemi]

Can someone explain how pro rata salary is calculated for partial months or joining dates?

Pro rata salary is one in which an employee receives the salary he would receive if he worked on a full-time schedule, but receives it proportionately for the amount of time he actually works. For instance, if the salary of a full time employee is ₹40,000 per month, then your pro rata salary will be ₹20,000 per month if you work 50% of the time. It is prevalent in part-time and contract employment.

Pro rata translates from Latin to mean "in proportion". In salary terms, it means adjusting a full-time employee's annual compensation so it accurately reflects a reduced number of hours worked or a partial period of employment.
