HR Glossary
What is Gross Pay?
The total amount an employee earns in a pay period before any taxes, insurance premiums, retirement contributions, or other deductions are subtracted, including base salary plus overtime, bonuses, commissions, and shift differentials.
Why it matters in hiring
Gross Pay comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
