3. Read the text and do the tasks after it.

For many people, working hours are 8.309.00am to 5.005.30pm, so people often talk about a nine-to-five job (= regular working hours). Some people do flexitime (= they can start work earlier or finish later); and some do shiftwork (= work at different times). Some people work/do overtime. (= work extra hours for more money).

Most workers are paid (= receive money) every month. This is called a salary. We can also use the verbs earn/make, to say how much you get. Some people are paid for the hours they work. The lowest amount for one hour's work is called the minimum wage. This amount is decided by the government. With most jobs you get 46 weeks' paid holiday; you also get sick pay. (= pay when you are ill)

The total amount of money you receive in a year is called your income. This could be your salary from one job, or the salary from two different jobs. You have to pay part of your income to the government; this is called income tax.
