Salary

Employers usually determine employees' compensation on an hourly or annual basis. In some fields, overtime, commissions and bonuses add to the income that workers receive. So, how much should you be making? It's often hard to find out what the person at the next desk earns, let alone the typical employee in your field. Some Websites, such as Monster.co.uk or Totaljobs.com, will show you how much to expect based on your skills and experience. In countries with a large unorganised labour market, such as India, salary levels are based on comparables and personal negotiations. Salaries in major Indian cities have gone up substantially in the past decade.
