Remuneration
Remuneration is the compensation that one receives in exchange for the work or services performed. Typically, this consists of a salary, wages, and is occasionally accompanied by other types of benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and performance bonuses.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Remuneration can be understood as the reward given to an employee in return for their services, effort, and skill provided to the employer. It is a fundamental component of an employment contract, and is the primary motivator for employees within a business.

There are several types of remuneration that an employee can receive. These include:
- Salary: A fixed regular payment made by an employer to an employee, especially a professional or white-collar worker.
- Wage: A fixed regular payment, typically paid on a daily or weekly basis, made by an employer to an employee, especially to a manual or unskilled worker.
- Bonus: An amount of money added to wages on a seasonal basis, especially as a reward for good performance.
- Benefits: Non-wage compensation provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries.
