salary

Fixed monthly payment

A salary is fixed compensation paid regularly for work, typically expressed as an annual amount and disbursed in portions—monthly, biweekly, or weekly.

Unlike wages, which are calculated by hours worked, a salary remains constant regardless of time spent: She negotiated a starting salary of $85,000.

Salaried employees often don't receive overtime pay.
