Wage & Salary
♦ Wages: Wages are compensation. This includes
basic wages, allowances, bonuses etc. On the
employers’ points of view, wages form that part of
cost of production which is attributed as
compensation paid to labor. Wages are paid in the
form of time rate or piece rate to the workers, who
are directly involved in the production or
commercial activities.
♦ Salary: This is compensation paid to the indirect

labor in the form of cash. Indirect labor involves
supervisors, managers and supporting staff like
office assistants, clerks, etc. Salaries are paid in
the form of time rate, mostly on monthly basis.
11
Wage & Salary
♦ On the basis of the employee needs and ability of the
organization, there are various kinds of wages. Wages are
generally four types:
– Subsistence wages
– Minimum Wages
– Fair Wages
– Living Wages
♦ Subsistence wages: This is level of wage below the
minimum level which can lead inhuman life to the
employees.
♦ Minimum Wages: This is a wage level fixed by
government which is considered adequate, taking into
account the cost of living. All the organizations are bound
to follow this direction so that no employee is paid a wage
less than the minimum wage fixed by government
irrespective of grade, class or nature of work.
12
Wage & Salary
♦ Fair Wages: This is fixed by employer. This level
of wage varies from industry to industry. The
main criteria are the capacity of payment. Fair
wage is a wage above the minimum wage but
below the living wage.
♦ Living Wages: Living wage is one which should

enable the earner to provide for himself and his
family not only the bare essentials of food,
clothing and shelter, but a measure of frugal
comfort, including education for his children,
protection against ill health, requirement of
essential social needs and a measure of insurance
against the more important misfortune including
old age.
13
Incentive Compensation
Incentives can be added to the basic pay structure to
provide rewards for performance. It may be 3
types:
1. Individual Incentives include
– merit pay plans (annual increase, based on
performance)
– piecework plans (pay based on number of units
produced typically in a specified time period.)
– time-savings bonuses and commissions
2. Group Incentives : Incentives can be offered to groups,
rather than individuals, when employees' tasks are
interdependent and require cooperation.
3. Plant-wide Incentives: Direct employee efforts
toward organizational goals (such as cost reduction)
14
4. The Future: Effective
Compensation Management
♦ S = Strategically-based
♦ M = Market-driven
♦ A = Analyze Thoroughly
♦ R = Reward Results
♦ T = Transformation
15
Compensation & Benefits Package

against objectives
