work for wages is the most common form of work. because of this, the term "wage" sometimes refers to all forms of employee payment. however, a wage is different to a salary or commission. a salary is where the employer pays an arranged amount at regular intervals (such as a week or month) regardless of hours worked or amount of work done. commission is usually an extra payment based on the performance of the worker or product. waged employees may also receive "tips" paid directly by clients. they will usually not get the same benefits as those paid with a salary, such as annual leave and sick leave.
