Salary

Step-by-step explanation:

A salary is an agreed and fixed amount that is paid to an employee that is usually paid at set intervals.

For example weekly, biweekly, and monthly.

Salary paid does not change with extra hours worked. However there may be a seperate compensation for added time worked.

Exempt employees are not entitled to payment for extra hours worked, and do not qualify for minimum wage.
