salaried worker

Regular paycheck earner

A salaried worker is an employee paid a fixed amount per pay period rather than by the hour.

Salaried workers typically receive the same paycheck regardless of hours worked, though this often means working beyond forty hours without overtime pay: As a salaried worker, she didn't get extra for staying late.

The term distinguishes these employees from hourly or wage workers.
