Legally there is hardly any difference between Wages and Salary. In fact, by whatever name called, any remuneration paid to an employee will be treated as 'salary' or 'wages'. However, separate treatment is needed in accounts to show the factory cost, cost of production and like. Therefore, remuneration paid to employees who are directly involved in production and whose services can be attributed directly to a cost centre are taken as 'wages' or labour cost (in Cost Sheet) and those remuneration, say amount paid to clerical staff, supervisors whose duty is to supervise a team of employees, managers etc are taken as 'salary' (included in administrative overhead). In final accounts the wages will be show as debited to Trading A/C whereas salary will be debited to Profit & Loss A/C.
There can also be a presumption that amount paid piece rated or on daily rated are treated as Wages and amount paid on monthly basis are treated as salary.
Similarly, wages may be variable, depending upon the unit of production and as such it will be a direct/ variabel cost whereas salary will be fixed and common for the entire units of production.
Moreover, the above classification will have bearing mainly in manufacturing units and not in service industry.

Hi Vikas,
Wages as defined in payment of wages Act. Any remuneration capable of being expressed in terms of money.
Salary is moderate nomenclature of wages paid to white collar employees.
You never heard of Managers are paid wages or Clerks are paid wages. Wages are linked to worker or labourers perforing manual work.

Dear Madhu Sir,
Is minimum wages act applicable for those who get salary? or is it only for worker? I mean to say as it is minimum "wages" act it related only to worker not to supervisor. Can we give less than minimum wages to supervisor or not??

In Minimum Wages Act, the expression is "employee" and not worker and as such it should include all employees including supervisors and managers and that is why the minimum wages notification contains minimum rates of wages/ salary for supervisors/ foreman/ Managers as well.
