1. Does the salary include benefits?
Wage refers to the labor remuneration paid by the employer to the laborer in the form of money according to the labor contract under the condition that the laborer who establishes labor relations pays normal labor for the employer. Generally, it includes hourly wages, piecework wages, bonuses, allowances and subsidies, overtime wages, and wages paid according to the hourly wage standard or a certain proportion of the hourly wage standard under special circumstances such as illness, work injury, maternity leave, funeral leave and annual leave. Wage is the main part, but not the whole, of workers' remuneration. In other words, the labor remuneration of workers is not all wages.
In the labor legal relationship, people's welfare refers to "employee welfare" or "employee welfare". Generally speaking, employee welfare refers to a kind of social welfare that employers organize collective and welfare undertakings according to national regulations and their own conditions, solve the life difficulties that employees are difficult to solve, facilitate and improve their lives, and ensure their health and normal work. It can be divided into employee collective welfare and employee individual welfare. Because there are essential differences between wages and benefits, the National Bureau of Statistics clearly stipulates that the welfare funds paid by employers to employees do not belong to the category of wages. Therefore, welfare funds should not be included in wages when calculating the economic compensation for employees to terminate the contract.
2. What's the difference between salary and welfare?
From the concept of wages and benefits, we can see that there are three main differences between them:
1, which is different from workers' labor.
Wage is closely related to workers' jobs and the quality, quantity and intensity of labor, and it is the reward that workers must get for their labor. However, the personal welfare of employees is not closely related to their work and the quality of their labor. Some items can be paid by the employer or not.
2. The term and method of payment to employees are different.
Wages, the employer shall generally pay directly to the workers on a monthly basis. However, employees' personal benefits can be paid not on a monthly basis, but through reimbursement.
3. Different forms of payment to employees.
Wages can only be paid in cash, not in kind. Personal benefits of employees can be paid in kind.
To sum up, employees' wages include basic salary, social security, allowances and various subsidies, and there are many items, but welfare benefits are not considered as wages. There are many differences between wages and benefits. They are different in payment cycle and mode, and the payment forms are also different. At this point, the majority of job seekers should have a basic understanding of employees' wages, including benefits, and should not be deceived by employers in this regard when looking for a job.
