Employee Types & Classifications

Salaried workers

Salaried workers are employees who receive a fixed, predetermined amount of compensation, typically expressed as an annual salary but paid in regular intervals (e.g., weekly, biweekly, or monthly). Their pay remains consistent regardless of the number of hours worked, and they are often exempt from overtime pay. Salaried positions are commonly associated with professional, managerial, or administrative roles.

Key characteristics:

  1. Fixed Pay: Salaried workers earn a stable income, providing financial predictability.
  2. No Overtime Pay: Most salaried employees do not receive extra pay for working beyond standard hours.
  3. Benefits: Salaried roles often include perks like paid leave, health insurance, and retirement plans.
  4. Work Expectations: Salaried employees are typically expected to complete their job responsibilities, even if it requires working extra hours.
