Answer 1

Salary can mean monthly or annual pay. It also means that you are paid a set amount, for example $50,000 a year, to work regardless of how many hours you work a week.

Answer 2

Salary Meaning

Answer 3

Salary is over a years time. When a company put you on salary you do not get overtime pay. But You DO NOT get docked time for when you are sick. So When you figure your own salary just take the (amount an hour you are looking to make) Time the weeks in a year (52). I always round it up just a little bit.

Answer 4

salary means you get paid a certain amount regardless of the hours worked. your hourly requirements will be told to you at the interview(s). if you are being paid $30, 000 / year and expected to work 45 hours per week, you will not get paid extra if you work more than 45 hours. however, you will usually docked pay if you work less than 45 hours (along with perhaps an a** chewing)

salary is usually referred to as annual. if the job you are looking for isnt a salaried position, then they are asking how much you want to make per hour.

as for how much, you may have to do a little research and find out a little bit more about the industry you are entering into and how much the starting pay is.

i have found that the local library is not only filled with all the knowjedge you may be seeking, but also staffed by librarians that truly LOVE to find weird information for people. that is what their job is..... not just checking out books.

i hope that helps you.

good luck

Answer 5

A salary in line with that of similar jobs in that field. They don't want to specify an amount to leave room for negotiation, but if you look up the salary range for that occupation, you'll have an idea of what to expect. It may also be affected by where you are located.

Answer 6

If a salary says $38,000 / year for some job company that you have to work (for example: 9 - 18 hours a day) and get about 2-6 day off from work, but maybe on-call @ times. All I know, is, get paid hour, overtime, or extra hours if needed. All benefits paid,, such as transportation, motel, etc. Just a question.......Thx!

Answer 7

You could put salary is negotiable. That way you appear open to discussing your salary with the employer. If you put an amount over what the employer wants to pay, your application will be trashed. However, if you put an amount under what the employer was expecting to have to pay, you will be cheap labor. I never put an amount because I think it is a trap!

Answer 8

Salary is a set pay that you get rather it be weekly, monthly, yearly, etc...you won't get paid overtime or anything like that, it's just what they tell you, you will make. What you need to do is search for the job that you are applying for and see what the going salary is. And don't be afraid of putting down what you want. If you are worth it, they will give it.

Answer 9

it means yearly.

say that salary is negotiable or do some research on the job and see how much you should be getting paid. there are salary calculators that can tell you how much the average entry-level person or an experienced person gets.

Answer 10

Usually when they ask for salary, they mean annual. But to play it safe, if you answer, specify that, so there is no confusion. Although sometimes it is best to say "negotiable" or "open". That way if they are planning on offering, $50,000 for example, and you put "$40,000" well you could shoot yourself in the foot. So I would recommend a response of "negotiable".
