Wages

'' Compensation paid or to be paid for services by the day, week, or month: as, for the services of laborers.' Compensation paid a hired person for his services: a specified sura for a given time of service or for- particular work.6 The term suggests inconsiderable pay, without necessarily excluding " salary," which is suggestive of larger compensation for personal services. As applied to compensation made or to be made a laborer or employee, conveys the idea of a subordinate occupation which is not very remunerative; one of not much independent responsibility, but rather subject to immediate supervision.^ See Earnings; Labor, 1; Salary; Admiralty; Apprentice; Business; Exemption; Husband; Parent; Service, 1.
