Different Types of compensation When a person applies for a job, he or she will find that different types of jobs sport different types of compensation. For example, some jobs pay by the hour. In these types of jobs, many times the employee has to punch a time clock so that there will be documentation of the exact number of hours that this person has worked. Other jobs pay an annual salary. For these types of jobs, the person is paid a set rate regardless of how many hours he or she works. Finally, some jobs have compensation which is based on commission. These are mostly sales positions, and the more a person sells, the more money he or she makes. These three types of compensation are the most common forms of payment that organizations offer to their employees.
