給与, 給料, and 賃金: Received Pay and Checked Conditions
Compare a deposit, a meal paid for from the first paycheck, and a story's remittance with checking job-posting or contract terms and discussing wages. Preserve the pay terms' overlap without fixed payment rules.
A salary deposit and conditions in a job posting
給与 (きゅうよ) means salary or pay. 「今月の給与が銀行口座に振り込まれた。」 — “This month's salary was deposited into my bank account.” This month's salary was deposited, a reported past result. The example does not make bank transfer mandatory for every 給与.
「求人票で給与と勤務時間を確認した。」 — “I checked the pay and working hours on the job posting.” The checked items are pay and working hours in a job posting. Checking those conditions does not report receiving the pay.
A first paycheck and a remittance in a story
給料 (きゅうりょう) means salary or pay. 「初めての給料で両親に食事をごちそうした。」 — “I treated my parents to a meal with my first paycheck.” The first paycheck was used to treat the parents to a meal.
「この物語の主人公は給料の一部を毎月故郷へ送る。」 — “The protagonist sends part of their salary back home every month.” The monthly remittance concerns part of this story protagonist's pay. The Japanese story setting and this person's remittance schedule do not define every 給料 payment schedule.
Wages checked in a contract and discussed
賃金 (ちんぎん) means wages or pay. 「契約書で勤務時間と賃金を確認した。」 — “I checked the working hours and wages in the contract.” Working hours and wages were checked in the contract. That check does not establish completed payment.
「仕事の内容に見合う賃金を求めて話し合った。」 — “We discussed pay appropriate to the job duties.” The Japanese describes discussion while seeking pay appropriate to the duties. No agreement, raise, or payment result is stated. The three pay terms overlap; these examples do not make 賃金 exclusively hourly or 給料 exclusively monthly.
Does checking 給与 and working hours in a 求人票 mean the pay has already been received?
Show the answer and why
No. It reports checking the job posting's conditions. The separate 給与が振り込まれた example reports an actual deposit, a different stage.
