Salary is a form of remuneration. For many people, salary and remuneration are the same. They are paid a flat salary or hourly rate for their work. For others, salary is only one part of remuneration, and may even be a minor part. Salespeople, for example, may receive a small salary and get their income largely from commissions based on their sales. Wall Street professionals are paid a token salary and get the bulk of their income in a single bonus payment that is determined at the end of the year based on their performance and that of the company. Restaurant wait staff can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour under federal law. The law assumes that this hourly rate plus tips will add up to at least $5.15 an hour in remuneration.
