2. Wages and salaries Wages and salaries People who work usually earn a wage or a salary. People who engage in manual or mechanical work (shop assistants, tradespeople, factory workers, etc.) usually earn a wage. People engaged in office or professional work (engineers, teachers, the police, bank employees, etc.) usually earn a salary. A wage is income determined by the number of hours an employee works for a fixed hourly rate and is usually paid weekly. Wage earners have the capacity to earn more income by working extra hours (overtime). A salary is income determined by a fixed annual amount which is then paid to the employee in weekly, fortnightly or monthly amounts. Salary earners do not have the capacity to earn extra income through overtime, but can attract other benefits, such as a company car, bonus payments or an expense account.

5. Example 1 Laura earns $38,135 per annum. Stephanie earns $3170 per month. Tracey earns $1467 per fortnight. Alison earns $733 per week. Who earns the most and by how much? Laura Stephanie Tracey Alison  Tracey earns the most, by $7. 3170 × 12 = 1467 × 26 = 733 × 52 = $38,135 per annum. $38,040 per annum. $38,142 per annum $38,116 per annum.
6. Example 2 Bianca earns $835 an hour. How much will she earn if she worked 9am to 4:30pm on Monday and 10:15am to 6:20 on Friday? Be very careful with time calculations where you don’t have whole hours! Monday Friday 7½ hours 8:05 hours 7½ × 835 = 85/60 × 835 = Total = 6263 6750 $13013 Total Pay 15:35 hours 1535/60 835 × 1535/60 = $13012
