Etymology

The word 'salary' originated from the Latin word 'salarium', which referred to an allowance or payment made in salt. In ancient Rome, soldiers were often paid in salt, as it was a valuable commodity. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent a regular payment made to employees. The concept of salary has since become a fundamental aspect of employment contracts and labor relations.
