Resource Of Wages

I thought it is a price for our labour. But the manager of our premises said it derives from profit we earned.

Strange.

Suppose if our salary were derived from the profit, we can't earn it if no profit was made. On the other hand we can get much more if we can get more profit than expected.

If our salary is a compensation for our labour, we can get our salary regardless of whether our company came up with no profit or much more profit.

Things are our salary ought to be paid regardless how much profit our company generated. Profit has to be reflected in our bonus, incentives, perk, or pay increase.
