Wage & Salary

Wages: Wages are compensation. This includes

basic wages, allowances, bonuses etc. On the employers points of view, wages form that part of cost of production which is attributed as compensation paid to labor. Wages are paid in the form of time rate or piece rate to the workers, who are directly involved in the production or commercial activities.
Salary: This is compensation paid to the indirect

labor in the form of cash. Indirect labor involves supervisors, managers and supporting staff like office assistants, clerks, etc. Salaries are paid in the form of time rate, mostly on monthly basis.

Wage & Salary

On the basis of the employee needs and ability of the

organization, there are various kinds of wages. Wages are generally four types: Subsistence wages Minimum Wages Fair Wages Living Wages Subsistence wages: This is level of wage below the minimum level which can lead inhuman life to the employees. Minimum Wages: This is a wage level fixed by government which is considered adequate, taking into account the cost of living. All the organizations are bound to follow this direction so that no employee is paid a wage less than the minimum wage fixed by government irrespective of grade, class or nature of work.

Wage & Salary

Fair Wages: This is fixed by employer. This level

of wage varies from industry to industry. The main criteria are the capacity of payment. Fair wage is a wage above the minimum wage but below the living wage.
Living Wages: Living wage is one which should

enable the earner to provide for himself and his family not only the bare essentials of food, clothing and shelter, but a measure of frugal comfort, including education for his children, protection against ill health, requirement of essential social needs and a measure of insurance against the more important misfortune including old age.

merit pay plans (annual increase, based on performance) piecework plans (pay based on number of units produced typically in a specified time period.) time-savings bonuses and commissions 2. Group Incentives : Incentives can be offered to groups, rather than individuals, when employees' tasks are interdependent and require cooperation. 3. Plant-wide Incentives: Direct employee efforts toward organizational goals (such as cost reduction)
