[Chris_Wang]

I know the general difference between salary and wage. But do they have plural forms?

Both of them have plural forms (salaries and wages). So it just depends what you want to say. Here are some dictionary entries:

Some managers earn annual salaries of over £80,000.
people with high salaries
She's on a salary of £16,000.
Some companies pay higher wages than others.
He earns a good wage.
The wage increases will come into effect in June.
a weekly wage of $250
daily/hourly/weekly wage
They’re protesting about low wages.

Do not use wages before a noun. Use wage e.g.
wage earners
Wage levels in manufacturing and mining dropped again last month.
