wage payment

Money for work

Wage payment is the transfer of money from employer to employee for work performed.

The term emphasizes the transaction itself rather than the amount: The company switched to biweekly wage payments.

It appears most often in legal, payroll, and policy contexts discussing how and when workers receive compensation.
