Especially for enterprises that have started their operation, the number of months in the year shall be calculated according to the actual number of months of operation in the year. 2. The average number of employed laborers per month shall be calculated according to the following formula: n å Xj j = 1 l i = n In which: li: The average number of employed laborers in month i of the year; Xj: The number of laborers of day j in the month, including both contractual and non-contractual laborers who are actually at work and are absent due to: sickness, maternity leaves, female laborers� leaves due to their children�s sickness, labor accidents, annual leaves, being sent to study by the units, paid personal leaves according to the workday-marking table of the units, including managers and cadres of mass organizations.
