Anything directly measurable in dollars and related to incremental effort is certainly earnings. Benefits not related to effort - but to employment itself like - oh, zed travel, or insurance would be desirable, but not really earnings.
I thought I clearly said “salary” in my post. You can change the word to fit your argument, but you’re just arguing with yourself at that point. Salary and benefits are 2 separate things. What does your yearly W2 have on it?
