It is one of the best questions—what an employer seeks or expects from the employee for the fixed salary or the salary received from them. Perhaps, a salary is not a fixed amount of money an employee can receive without reasons or causes; it is payment for work done or services rendered over a fixed period. It is the compensation an employee receives from the employer for the time spent in the office as an asset for the employee's work or services. There is certainly a benefit that exists in the service or work done or being done by the employee.
The service or work is certainly defined, either hidden or in plain sight. In either case, the benefits are mutually agreed upon by the employer and employee to fulfill tasks to the satisfaction of the employer or reporting officer. Even a timekeeper's work is fully defined; they closely monitor the clock-ins and clock-outs of other employees and the duration of their stay in the factory, workplace, office, etc. This is ultimately considered for the calculation of a fixed or floating salary based on the kind of benefits provided. Furthermore, salaries are fixed in accordance with the work each employee carries out—merit, customer care, sales, marketing, supervision, accounting, production, purchasing, office maintenance, cleaning, socio-cultural benefits of the organization and the employee, employer commitments. Some employees are assets who work beyond the actual money they receive, while some need to have their contributions calculated, some need guidance, and some need motivation. These categories work together for the advancement of the organization in the market, country, or operational area.
Thus, every aspect is considered when determining a fixed or floating salary with benefits in society. It is a wide-open, contradictory, and conflicting scenario; however, organizations must survive amidst these facts and grow with zeal.
