From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
Someone �s salary is the money they are paid every month by their employer, especially someone in a profession, such as a teacher or a lawyer
� Some managers earn annual salaries of over �80,000.
Use wages to refer to the money that someone is paid every week by their employer, especially someone who works in a factory or a shop
� Some companies pay higher wages than others.
Do not use wages before a noun. Use wage
� wage earners |

Well, according to Wikipedia:
Salary:
is a fixed amount of money paid to a worker, usually measured on a monthly or annual basis, not hourly, as wages.
Think:
Yearly salary and weekly wages!
