Labor Costs. Variable pay isn't factored into an employee's annual compensation, although the amount may be based on the employee's salary. For example, when the company reaches its performance goal, a variable pay plan may call for an employee to receive 5.25 percent of her annual salary.
The sore throat is likely being caused by post nasal drip from your sinus infection. If it's strep, you should see small white patches on your tonsils and it's extremely painful. If after you finish your round of antibiotics, you still have a serious sore throat then you should go back to the doctor for more tests.
While sinus infections often stem from a cold or some other upper respiratory infection, they can also be triggered by allergies, nasal problems or seasonal changes. Inflammation is responsible for the pressure and pain you feel when you have a sinus infection -- inflamed sinuses prevent mucus from draining efficiently. Drinking plenty of fluids and eating an anti-inflammatory diet can help relieve symptoms as you recover.
