wage
Meaning
A wage is a fixed regular payment, typically paid on a daily or weekly basis, made by an employer to an employee, especially for manual or unskilled work.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "wage" with "salary," as wages are usually calculated on an hourly basis, while salaries are typically annual amounts.
