"Salary-based" refers to a compensation structure where employees receive a fixed amount of money for their work, typically paid on a regular schedule, such as monthly or biweekly. This amount does not change based on the number of hours worked or the amount of work completed, providing a stable income for employees. In many organizations, salary-based pay is common for positions such as managers, professionals, and administrative staff. This system allows employers to budget for labor costs more effectively and can help attract and retain talent by offering predictable earnings and benefits.
