timework
Wages by duration
Timework is labor paid by the hour, day, or week rather than by the piece or task completed.
The term contrasts with piecework, where pay depends on output: Factory workers on timework earned a steady wage regardless of how many units they produced.
The word is somewhat dated, more common in historical discussions of industrial labor practices.
