history
In ancient Greece , the payment of wages begins under Pericles , in ancient Rome at the time of the king from the municipal treasury - from the state treasury only since 406 AD every six months or annually. The cash wages, including the salarium (salt ration), corresponded to the wages of the rural workers.
The Germans began paying wages occasionally under Charlemagne and was fully developed by the Hanseatic League in the 13th century, in England around 1050.
After the decay of the army ban , feudal succession and knighthood , recruited mercenaries formed the bulk of the armies until the end of the 18th century. The regular payment of wages only began with the rise of the standing armies . Up until the First World War , men and officers received wages paid out in cash in advance for a decade ( wages roll call), while officers received a monthly salary . The payment amount and the payment dates were recorded in the pay book .
