Practice question
An employee is paid by the quantity of work completed rather than a daily time rate. Does that computation method alone exclude the remuneration from Article 97(f)?
- Yes, the definition accepts only time-based pay
- No, the definition also reaches task, piece, commission, and other computation methods within its terms
- Yes, because every output-based worker is automatically self-employed
- Yes, unless payment is made every morning
- No, because every payment from any person is necessarily a wage
