Why are payable days shown in decimals?

Payable days are the days for which employers pay their employees. It includes not only days worked but also paid leave, holidays, and weekends. Employers can choose to exclude holidays and weekends from the payable days calculation. Additionally, if they prefer not to use the actual calendar days in the month, they can set the number of pay days as anything between the 20 and 31 for the month.
