text: wage/salary - what is the difference? i am working for my employer full-time at the moment on a wage but in september i am due to change my position and will have a salary.  i will only be working 4 days a week instead of my usual five at the moment. my employers are saying they will not give me this full salary as i will not be working 'full-time' - can they do this?   thank you wage r on daily basis whereas salary on perticular period basis wherein u r allowed for some leaves depend on policy of organisation.... no they cannot do this as they r promoting you and its policy of organisation for workin for 4 days u get promotion and in promotion salary increases....
