What is the salary?
Salary is the fixed remuneration or pay that a person receives from an employer for the performance of a position or service during a specified period of time.
As such, it is a fixed amount, previously agreed by both parties, which is paid periodically to the worker, either weekly, biweekly or monthly.
In this sense, the salary is not subject to discounts for holidays and will not vary if one month there are fewer working days than another.

What is the salary?
The salary is the payment or monetary compensation that a worker receives in exchange for his services. Unlike the salary, the salary is calculated based on days or hours of work , so it is fixed per unit of time.
A worker who works by the hour or by the day receives a salary that may vary depending on the time worked. In this sense, the salary is not like the salary, since it is not a fixed payment that is received on a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, but an economic remuneration.
