解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
この「報酬」は、remuneration の給与という基本義とは別に、仕事・役務・貢献に対して正式に与えられる対価として押さえるとよいです。salary のような定期的な給料に限らず、委託業務、専門サービス、役員職務などへの支払いを硬く表します。reward は感謝や賞の響きもありますが、remuneration は契約・制度上の金銭的な見返りに寄ります。
This is a formal word, so connect it with official documents and business English. Notice the family: `remunerate` is the verb, and `remuneration` is the noun, like many `-tion` words. Remember set phrases such as `remuneration package` to keep its formal tone in mind.
例文
The employee received a generous remuneration for their hard work.
従業員は努力に対して手厚い報酬を受け取った。
Fair remuneration is essential for employee satisfaction.
公正な報酬は従業員の満足度に不可欠である。
He negotiated a higher remuneration before accepting the position.
彼はその職を受け入れる前により高い報酬を交渉した。
給与
(意味 2)解説 Definition
remuneration は、雇用契約に基づいて従業員や役員に支払われる給与を指す硬い語です。会社の人事、契約書、求人条件などで、月給・賃金・賞与を含む支払い条件をまとめて述べるときに使われます。
Remuneration is a formal word for the pay a company gives to an employee or executive under an employment agreement. It is often used in HR, contracts, and job descriptions when talking about salary, wages, bonuses, and other parts of the pay package together. Compared with pay or salary, it sounds more official and focuses on the payment system in a work relationship.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
remuneration は pay や salary より硬く、会社が従業員・役員に支払う給与条件を正式に述べる語として覚えるとよいです。動詞 remunerate「支払う」に名詞化の -tion が付いた形で、remuneration package「給与・福利厚生の条件一式」、executive remuneration「役員給与」が頻出。reward のような一回ごとの見返りより、雇用上の支払い制度に焦点があります。
Remember that remuneration is more formal than pay or salary. It is often used for official pay terms from a company, especially in phrases like remuneration package and executive remuneration. Think of it as the noun form of remunerate, so it points to a structured system of payment in employment, not just a one-time reward.
例文
The contract clearly states the remuneration for the position, including salary and annual bonus.
その契約書には、給与や年次賞与を含むその職の給与条件が明記されている。
Many applicants asked whether the remuneration package included housing support and health insurance.
多くの応募者が、給与条件一式に住宅補助や健康保険が含まれるかを尋ねた。
The board reviewed executive remuneration before approving the new budget.
取締役会は新しい予算を承認する前に、役員給与を見直した。
remuneration の語源・成り立ち Etymology
remuneration はラテン語 remuneratio に由来し、re-「返して」+ munus「務め・贈り物」が核です。もともと「受けた働きに報いて返すこと」なので、そこから報酬という意味になると納得できます。関連語に remunerate、munificent があります。
Remuneration comes from Latin remuneratio, from remunerari, meaning to reward or repay. It is linked to re- "back" and munus, meaning "service," "duty," or "gift." The original idea was giving something back in return for service, which explains how it developed into the sense of payment or reward; remunerate and munificent are related words.
