Mercy salary

Mercy salary (Latin: Portĭo gratiālis ) was a salary that was paid without consideration. Krünitz Economic Encyclopedia of 1878 writes that it is “ a salary which a higher person grants a lower person out of grace, that is out of undeserved inclination, especially as far as it is earned but for further service, age or weakness due to inept people. "
