In relation to total wage it is variable cost because as many hours you work as much you get but at other side wage rate with comparison to hour is fixed cost because it does not change from one hour to other hour.
For example: if somebody says that i will give you $10 per hour so now as many hour you will work you will get according to it.
But other side if somebody says that i will give you $10 per hour so whether you take an hour to complete a task or complete before that you will get $10 so in this sense you can say that it is fixed.
Overhead is considered a fixed cost, even though it may vary somewhat according to the amount of activity.

variable
Variable if the psychiatrist is paid at a certain rate hourly or daily; fixed if the salary is fixed for a given period (i.e.) annually).
Wages are generally based on an hourly rate, therefore they are generally a variable cost. Think for instance at a manufacturing business and the production of a specific product. A calculation can be made on the labour cost needed (budget), which will later be compared to actual cost incurred. These are generally based on a number of labour hours needed/used multiplied by an hourly rate. Salaries are generally considered a fixed cost.
Overhead is considered a fixed cost, even though it may vary somewhat according to the amount of activity.
Fixed cost and variable cost is equal to total cost as per following formula: Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
It isn't so much about what the employee *has* done or is *expected* to do as it is about what the employee *could* do. A fixed cost is one that you know is going to be there at the end of the period. As for the worker, you don't know he's going to be there for 40 hrs. He could quit, or die or be injured or suddenly laid off.
its a fixed cost
Labor costs can be considered fixed, variable or both depending on the business. If workers are hourly (e.g., factory workers, delivery drivers, etc.), labor is generally considered variable. If workers are on an annual salary, but are hired and fired based on production needs (e.g., floor managers, plant managers, etc.), labor can be considered variable. If workers are on an annual salary, but are not hired and fired based on production needs (e.g., Chief Financial Officer, Director of Operations, etc.), labor can be considered fixed.
