the operating costs as low as possible
so that they could offer their products or
services within the reach of consumers.

operating costs as low as possible.

increase in wage due to the price hike of
the basic commodities.

guide in determining the wage levels.

 Compensation is the total cash and non-cash payments that you give to an employee in exchange for the work they
do for your business. It is typically one of the biggest expenses for businesses with employees.

receives directly from his or her place of work.

incentive pay.

given to the more casual term

employee for joining, staying, and
exceeding expectations with it.
