Wages are wages that employees receive in exchange for the work they do. The size of the salary can be determined by various factors, such as the level of qualification, experience, complexity of the work, the labor market situation and other factors. Salary can be paid per hour, day, week, month or other period. This is one of the main elements of social protection of employees and an important factor in their economic well-being.
The size of the salary depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the work, the qualifications of the employee, the results of his work, as well as the economic situation in the enterprise or organization.
State and contractual regulation of labor remuneration is determined by the legislation of each country. Ukraine, for example, has relevant legislation that determines the procedure for payment of labor, the rights of workers to payment of labor and their protection. Such norms are enshrined in the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine, the Law "On Remuneration of Labor" and other legal acts.
These legislative acts establish rules regarding the minimum wage, the order of its indexation, conditions for payment of bonuses and other additional payments, as well as mechanisms for protecting the rights of employees in the field of wages.
The minimum wage is set both monthly and hourly. Its size is revised in accordance with the relevant legislative norms and cannot be less than the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons.The minimum wage is a state social guarantee and is mandatory for all enterprises, institutions, organizations of all forms of ownership, as well as individuals who use the labor of employees. This is an important element of social protection of workers and ensuring their minimum standard of living.
Remuneration systems can be different, and one of them is the tariff system. The tariff system of labor remuneration is based on tariff grids, rates, salary schemes, professional standards and qualification characteristics.
In the tariff system of labor remuneration, specific tariff rates are usually established for different categories of employees or for the work performed. These rates can be determined on the basis of various criteria such as qualifications, experience, complexity of work, etc. The tariff system allows to standardize wages on the basis of objective criteria and ensures transparency in determining the wages of employees.
Part-time work is when an employee performs additional paid work outside of his main job in his free time from his main job. It can be work at the same or another enterprise, institution, organization, or even an individual who is an employer.
Part-time employees are paid for work actually performed outside their primary workplace. It can be payment per hour, per project or for other parameters determined by the terms of the employment contract.Part-time work can be an important additional source of income for employees and can also contribute to the development of their professional skills and experience.
Pay for work on holidays and non-working days may differ depending on which pay system is used:
1. For contractors: payment is made at double unit rates.
2. For employees with hourly or daily rates: payment is made in the amount of double the hourly or daily rate for hours actually worked.
3. For employees who receive a monthly salary: payment is made in the amount of a single hourly or daily rate in addition to the salary, if the work on a holiday and a non-working day was carried out within the limits of the monthly norm of working hours, and in the amount of a double hourly or daily rate in addition to the salary, if the work was carried out above the monthly norm.
In any case, payment for work on holidays and non-working days must be made in double amount and is made for the hours actually worked. Also, the employee may be given another day of rest at his request.
