SALARY. A reward or recompense for services performed. 2. It is usually applied to the reward paid to a public officer for the performance of his official duties. 3. The salary of the president of the United States is twenty-five thousand dollars per annum; Act of l8th Feb. 1793; and the constitution, art. 2, s. 1, provides that the compensation of the president shall not be increased or diminished, during the time for which he shall have been elected. 4. Salary is also applied to the reward paid for the performance of other services; but if it be not fixed for each year, it is called honorarium. Poth. Pand. h.t. According to M. Duvergier, the distinction between honorarium and salary is this. By the former is understood the reward given to the most elevated professions for services performed; and by the latter the price of hiring of domestic servants and workmen. 19 Toull. n. 268, p. 292, note. 5. There is this difference between salary and price; the former is the reward paid for services, or for the hire of things; the latter is the consideration paid for a thing sold. Lec. Elem. Sec. 907, 908. salary
SalaryRegular wages and benefits an employee receives from an employer.SalaryA regular compensation that an employee receives for working at a company. A salary is set by agreement between the employee and the employer and is not dependent on the number of hours worked. That is, the employee does not make more for working more than 40 hours per week and does not make less for working less than that.salary a payment made to employees for the use of their labour. Unlike WAGES, salaries are not strictly related to the actual number of hours worked (though the CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT will usually stipulate the required working hours each week). Instead salaries are expressed in an annual sum, a portion of which is paid to the employee each month. An employee's salary is generally a function of the individual's age and experience, and the level of the job in the organization. Increasingly, an element of the employee's salary is based on some measure of individual performance. See INCREMENTAL PAY SCALE, PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL, MERIT PAY.salary a form of PAY made to employees of an organization. A salary is similar to a WAGE payment in that it is paid for the use of LABOUR as a factor of production. In economic terms, a salary payment differs from a wage payment in two ways: - it is not strictly related to the actual number of hours worked by the employee, whereas wage earners are usually paid on an hourly basis;
- salaries are usually paid monthly, whereas wages are paid weekly
