What is the difference between wages and salary?

Wages are usually calculated on a hourly or weekly basis (like a get paid as you work scheme), while salaries are usually paid at the end of the calendar month. Imagine your employers paying you at the end of each working day or at the end of each working week.

Is this something YOU have decided since yesterday or is there a source for this?

E-hailing na uber or Bolt na.

Get a good car, register on uber or Bolt. Go for inspection. Once they approve u, start hustling. A week u can make 80k especially in Lagos depends on how u hustle

Thanks sir. I dey Abuja.

If you are earning salary pls, find a business to add. No matter what you do, this salary can disappoint.

No wonder the rich gets richer and continue to be because they have mastered the game of money and how best to earn it irrespective of the place they found themselves.

Hard lesson for fiscal discipline: get a lone on the salary and invest it. Repayment will teach you fiscal discipline and reward you at the end.
Successful people do this.

Bros, you're free to consult the internet and read up on it. This is something I've known for a long time and it's common knowledge.
Wages are actually fixed on a hourly or sometimes daily rate, meaning that you only get paid for the period you're at work. Salaries are only fixed but not with regards to hourly work. e.g As a worker collecting wages, I won't get payment for Sunday if I didn't come to work on Sunday. If I work for 4 hours then I'll get paid for it and not more except if I work overtime (a good example of this is a bricklayer working as a labourer on a construction site, he/she usually gets paid at the end of each working day or at most at the end of the week. If he only comes to work for 28 days then he'll only get payment for 28 days).
Salary earners get paid the same amount even when there's an holiday and they couldn't come to work (a vivid example of this is a teacher. Teachers are paid the same amount at the end of every month even when the number of days they work each month is different. Teachers may work for 21 days in some months or 23 days in others yet they get paid the same amount. Meaning that there's no direct link between the hours used at work and the pay, they always get paid a fixed amount per pay period which is usually monthly). "Please pardon, the lack of paragraph or coherence in my reply"

I pray you understand the example given o.

The fact that you have been ignorant for ever does not validate it
You spent a lot of words to expose your ignorance
Wages and salaries are the same thing.
Stop arguing blindly
Just open a dictionary and give it a rest.

There is no such thing as all the rubbish you just made up
So when they say the wages of sin is death they mean you will die weekly?
It is funny how people talk rubbish and go to extreme lengths to justify their rubbish

Oh my fvcking goodness, I didn't know that I was having a discussion with a dingbat. I shouldn't be surprised though, since you don't even know that footballers collect wages and not salaries to start with.
Why not take your time and read up about it before you come here to show your ignorance. So workers on construction sites also get paid salaries and a fixed amount of money irrespective of whether they're at work or not??
Are you saying that teachers in government schools and labourers get the same structure of payment??
Too much ignorance in one person.

Ignoramus and their hatred for getting enlightened. Below is a link for you to enlighten your ignorant self. Some members of this forum will never cease to amaze me.

Jesus is the only take home that can take us home!

Nigerian salary is like an accumulation of daily pennies. At the end of the month, a major part of it goes into bill payment and other miscellaneous. At the end of the day, one is left with nothing after feeding money. Hian!

Your best plug is to find alternative sources of income, that alll!

Can I get ur no. Pls

Open a dictionary and stop arguing foolishly

You claim wages are weekly payments, fine

Which dictionary??
Below is the definition of wages and salaries according to Merriam Webster dictionary.
Wage: a payment usually of money for labor or services usually according to contract and on an hourly, daily, or piecework basis

Salary: fixed compensation paid regularly for services.

Your ignorant self did not even wait to understand the meaning of the statement before you started displaying your ignorance up and down on a public forum. To fool Nigerians, all you have to do is put your ideas in writings and most won't even bother to have the basic understanding of the idea before jumping upandan like a bitch on heat.

Fixed compensation paid regularly

The regularity can be weekly daily or whatever
Wages and salary are the same thing, whether you call it remuneration or any other word they are the same so stop arguing blindly and foolishly

I said HOURLY or WEEKLY rate dingbat. You've been screaming about an imaginary dictionary definition since and you're yet to provide a source to your dubious claim. I've already provided you with the definition of each term as found in the Merriam Webster dictionary, since you made mention of the dictionary definition. You don't even have the basic understanding of the keywords before you started to brought that Bible verse. The statement "for the wages of sin is death" means that the payment for all the sins you committed is death. Don't quote the Bible out of context.
I'll drop the link to a source for you again if you're faking that you didn't see what I wrote up there.

Gracious God, too much ignorance in one person.
Please show me the dictionary that said both terms mean the same. You don't even understand the meaning of the word, remuneration to start with. Both salaries and wages are payment/remuneration. Get educated bros. Jezzzzzzz.

Below is the Merriam Webster dictionary definition of the terms:-
(1) Wage: a payment usually of money for labor or services usually according to contract and on an HOURLY, DAILY, or PIECEWORK basis.
(2) Salary: fixed compensation paid regularly for services

Below is the Cambridge dictionary definition of the terms
(1) Salary: a fixed amount of money agreed every
year as pay for an employee, usually
paid directly into his or her bank
account every month.
(2) Wages: a particular amount of money that is
paid, usually every WEEK, to an
employee, especially one who does
work that needs PHYSICAL SKILLS or
strength, rather than a job needing a
college education.
Below is another source talking about one of the differences between the two terms

Too long
Wage = Payment = Salary
Even your own source contradicts your blind and foolish argument
Wages are the same as salaries
Continue searching for sources to justify your meaningless argument
I stick to fixed regular payment . Usually does not mean always
There is nothing in the definition that fixes the regularity interval. NOTHING!!

This dingbat wants to start using semantics.
Oya show me an example of an employer in Nigeria that pays the salary of their workers at the end of each day/week??
Bricklayers on construction sites and other skilled labours like footballers are paid wages and not salaries, teachers are usually paid salaries oftentimes. Of course you can collect wages as a teacher e.g as a part-time teacher.
Your blatant show of ignorance is amusing bro. You should add this to the list of things you've learnt now.

Do you even know the meaning of the world "USUALLY" or "OFTEN". It means most times bro.
You want to tell us that something that USUALLY or OFTEN occur is less common than one that RARELY or UNUSUALLY occur??
Jezz, who's your English language teacher. You surely need to demand for a refund from him/her since you're this dumb.

Semantics is what we have been discussing all along
Good morning
The point is that Nothing in the dictionary meaning dictates the interval of payment
That is subject to discussion and agreement
The key issue is that a wage or salary is a payment for work given at regular intervals
Whether daily , weekly monthly or whatever does not make any difference

Salary has is origin /etymology in Latin and referred to payments to soldiers to buy SAL( salt) which was very valuable then
It is not about the interval of payment
It is just a REGULAR payment at fixed intervals.
Wages on the other hand has its etymology in Anglo-Germanic

That is all
Wages and Salaries are the same

People will go to extremes to "win" a redundant argument

What is the MINIMUM WAGE in Nigeria

So minimum wage laws around the world do not apply to those paid monthly? Or they are called MINIMUM SALARY?

I collected 3.4million for 5years and invested some where while I stay purposefully broke.

That omonnakoda you were arguing with is a kindergaten drop out. E go dey shout "what is your source" upandan for every thread make u think say na human u dey discuss with. You no know say na confirm imbe.. Imagine wages and salary that was taught in class 3 or 4 of primary school.
Even if you open a thread about the difference between President and Prime minister, e go still argue imself. If e never get chance to argue and insult people for a day, e go fit kpai from stroke or something.

I actually fell into his trap since I didn't know any better, I thought I was having a conversation with a sane individual. I gave the dingbat several proofs sef, yet he kept on saying the same rubbish without supplying any proof to back it up. Na me fvck up sha. I've learnt my lessons now, I was even banned for 24 hours cos of the numerous links I added to my reply, thinking that he'll click and read at least one of them. I've left him to his folly o.
