Wage structure is generally the levels or hierarchy of job and pay ranges. It is the interrelationship of the levels of pay for different types of employees.
It may mean the way the total wage of a worker or group of workers is composed; for example including such elements as a basic rate, a piecework bonus and other forms of bonus, overtime, etc. It may also mean the established system of pay differentials between groups of workers by occupation or the pattern of differentials on the basis of grade or status.
