hourly pay

Wage per hour

Hourly pay is compensation calculated by the hour rather than by salary, project, or piece.

Workers paid hourly typically receive overtime for hours beyond a standard workweek: She makes eighteen dollars an hour.

The term often distinguishes wage workers from salaried employees: Hourly pay means you clock in and out.
