Salary Defined

A salary is a form of periodic payment from an employer to an employee, which may be specified in an employment contract. It is contrasted with piece wages, where each job, hour or other unit is paid separately, rather than on a periodic basis. From the point of a view of running a business, salary can also be viewed as the cost of acquiring human resources for running operations, and is then termed personnel expense or salary expense. In accounting, salaries are recorded in payroll accounts. Below is a sample cover letter with salary requirement mention in the last paragraph. But should you include your salary requirement? The answer is that you should do what you are most comfortable with. That said, our recommendation is not to divulge a number in the cover letter. Instead, mention salary requirements in a broad way.
