benefits of being paid a salary
Being on a salary rather than an hourly wage does have it's benefits: 1  Potentially more flexibility over working hours. 2  Possible flexibility over duration and timing of lunch breaks. 3  Higher pay-this is the benefit you get for having to potentially work more hours or at weekends.owever, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to the employee for being on salary. For example, if I miss a day of work my pay is docked, but if I work 10 extra hours during the week I get no benefit at all since I'm exempt and the company doesn't have to pay overtime.
