NOTICE:
Generally, people who get paid a "salary" get their money monthly,
and get the same amount each month. A salary usually doesn't
change based on the number of hours you work.
If you get paid a
"salary", you usually say things like "I make $30,000 a
year."
If you get paid a wage, it usually means that you get a certain amount per hour. The more hours you work, the more money you will make.
- vacancy · the state or condition of being vacant or unoccupied; emptiness · an unoccupied post or office: we have a vacancy in the accounts department
o flexitime a system that
allows an employee to choose the hours for starting and leaving work.
o
Payslip ‘nómina’
o to get a rise, to
get a raise (In
American English, a person receives a raise in salary. In British English it is
a rise.)
