Where money comes from, sentence 5

Wages are usually paid by the hour or the week, so more hours means more pay; a salary is a fixed amount for the year, split into monthly payments.

Who acts: more hours, salary · What happens: pay, mean, fix, be, split · To what, where: Wages, more pay, fixed amount, monthly payments

This is a sentence of the lesson «Where money comes from» of the adult life course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (more hours, salary), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
