How to use 待遇
待遇 most often means what a job gives you: salary, benefits and conditions. It can also mean how people are treated in general. Example: 这家公司的待遇很好。(Zhè jiā gōngsī de dàiyù hěn hǎo.) This company's pay and benefits are very good.
待 (dài) means to treat someone, as in 对待 (duìdài), and 遇 (yù) means to meet or encounter, as in 遇到 (yùdào). Put them together: 待遇 is how you are treated when you meet the world, at work or in society.
Common mistake: Learners mix up 待遇 and 对待. 待遇 is a noun for treatment you receive, while 对待 is mainly a verb meaning to treat someone, so say 他对待我很好, not 他待遇我很好.
