wages
Money for labor
Wages are payment for work, typically calculated by the hour or day and paid weekly or biweekly.
The term often implies manual or hourly labor, distinguishing it from salary, which suggests professional or administrative positions with annual compensation.
The minimum wage isn't enough to live on.
In a moral or biblical sense, wages are what one earns through actions: The wages of sin is death.
