Absences reflecting on first payslip

Hello Experts,

I'm a bit confused with the first payslip I got with this new company. Here are the facts:

1) Payroll cutoff falls on 6th - 20th and 5th - 21st
2) My start date fell on 11th
3) My payslip shows deductions of absences
4) Ask HR and replied it is for the days that I have "no work". This is the (6 to 10th day).

My question here is that should this "no work days" be reflecting as absences on payslip?
And this "absences" should not be deducted or use on the computation of my 13th month, tax refund right?
My salary should be calculated by cumulative days that I actually worked.

Thank you in advance for your inputs.

My question here is that should this "no work days" be reflecting as absences on payslip? - yes

And this "absences" should not be deducted or use on the computation of my 13th month, tax refund right? - yes it doesnt affect either

My salary should be calculated by cumulative days that I actually worked.
- yes. pangit lang ang payroll system nyo. instead of counting days worked, it subtracts the number of days you didnt work drom the total number of days in that payroll period. but the final outcome (salary) is the same

if you are on a monthly based employee, yes it counts absences and deduct from salary.

If you are a daily paid employee.. no, there shouldn't be any deduction shown.

Anyway, if the net pay is the same, it doesn't matter.

your company is correct, days not worked means you are absent in the payslip. For as long as you get the days you worked for.
