hourly workers
Paid by time
Hourly workers are employees paid based on the number of hours they work rather than receiving a fixed salary.
They typically track time on a clock or timesheet and receive overtime pay when exceeding standard weekly hours.
The term often carries connotations of lower-wage, less stable employment compared to salaried positions, though many skilled trades and professional roles also pay hourly.
The company hired additional hourly workers for the holiday rush.
