'''Salary''' is money given in payment to a person as remuneration for their work as an employee. In general, the term is used to describe payment in a lump sum, regardless of hours worked. Those who get payed by the hour receive [[wages]].
The word salary derives from the [[Latin]] for [[salt]] as in the approving saying, "He's worth his salt". In ancient times, salt was a very expensive commodity, and [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] soldiers were sometimes payed in salt.
