Compensation is the total remuneration paid to employees, including cash and in-kind benefits. Salary is a fixed, regular payment, typically expressed as an annual sum but paid monthly or bi-weekly, common for managerial positions. Wages are quoted on an hourly basis and are calculated by multiplying hours worked by the hourly rate, often associated with blue-collar jobs.
Overtime pay is additional compensation for work exceeding 8 hours per day. Benefits are non-monetary forms of compensation, while working conditions are employer-provided circumstances like work hours (not exceeding 8 hours/day), overtime pay (at least 25% of regular wage), holiday pay, and rest periods. Other benefits include incentive leave, paternity/maternity leave, medical/health insurance, and social security systems like SSS or GSIS.
The video outlines formulas for converting annual salary to other pay periods: weekly salary is annual salary divided by 52 weeks; bi-weekly salary is annual salary divided by 26 weeks; monthly salary is annual salary divided by 12 months; and semi-monthly salary is annual salary divided by 24 months. Quarterly salary is annual salary divided by four quarters.
Mr. P. Rosino, with an annual basic salary of 495,600 pesos, has his salary computed for different periods: weekly salary is 9,530.77 pesos (495,600 / 52); two-week salary is 19,061.54 pesos (495,600 / 26); monthly salary is 41,300 pesos (495,600 / 12); and semi-monthly salary is 20,650 pesos (495,600 / 24).
Miss Montiliano earns 3,875 pesos a week. To find her monthly gross amount, first her annual salary is computed: 3,875 pesos/week * 52 weeks = 201,500 pesos. Then, her monthly salary is calculated by dividing the annual salary by 12 months: 201,500 pesos / 12 = 16,791.67 pesos.
