hourly wages
Pay per clock-tick
Hourly wages are pay calculated by the hour worked rather than by salary, project, or piece.
Workers paid hourly wages typically receive overtime for hours beyond the standard workweek: She earns $18 an hour plus time-and-a-half for overtime.
The term often implies blue-collar or service work, contrasting with salaried positions.
