Answer 1

Answer: salary basis

Explanation:

From the analysis, we are informed that Amber works for 40 hours per week but sometimes work 60 hours per week and she is paid the same amount regardless of the number of hours worked. This shows that Amber is paid a salary.

A salary is a fixed regular payment that is paid by the employer to the employee usually towards the end of the month basis. Salary is usually paid to white-collar workers or professionals.

The main difference between a wage and a salary is that a worker paid a wage receives his or her pay based on the number of hours worked while salary is fixed. Wage can be calculated by multiplying the rate per hour by the number of hours worked.

Answer 2

The answer is D. on a salary basis

Salary basis indicates the payment an employee receives, during each pay period, a predetermined amount comprising all or part of their compensation.

Given from the article above, Amber works over 40 hours per week, and in as much as 60 hours per week with new styles and receives the same payment for the work done regardless or its hours.
