However, this calculation 1000 phone data method has a serious drawback: it takes into account only salaries. There are cases when employers were punished by GIT inspectors for underpaying employees for overtime if their salaries were significantly lower than the minimum wage, and the employee's salary consisted of a percentage of sales. So, in order to avoid a fine, it is better to calculate not the total salaries, but the actual fee with all additional payments.

Each calculation method can be applied quite successfully, and none of them can be called a standard, since the calculation procedure is not prescribed in the legislation of the Russian Federation.
