It combines various forms of payment and benefits designed to reward and support employees in different ways. This package can include several elements, such as: Base Wages: The fixed salary or hourly pay you receive. Profit Sharing: Bonus payments based on the company's profitability. Health Care Benefits: Contributions to health insurance to manage medical costs. Pension Payments and 401 (k): Savings for retirement, to which the employer might contribute a certain amount. Other Premiums: Additional payments for specific roles or skills, like leadership roles or specialized team functions. Shift Differentials: Extra pay to attract workers to certain shifts. The next section includes a list of some of the elements that combine to form your Overall Compensation. Please read each item carefully and tell our Negotiators which needs improvement the most. Remember, the things we've listed are just part of what you may get in your total pay package. Some extras like overtime, financial disincentives for mandatory overtime, and extra money from day trades aren't mentioned here. That's because they're not always part of your basic pay.
