Salaried workers are employees who receive a fixed amount of pay, typically on a monthly or biweekly basis, regardless of the number of hours they work. This payment structure is common in various professions, including management, education, and healthcare. Salaried positions often come with additional benefits, such as health insurance and retirement plans. Unlike hourly workers, who are paid for each hour worked, salaried workers may have more flexible work hours but are generally expected to complete their job responsibilities. This can sometimes lead to longer work hours, especially during busy periods or project deadlines.
