timeworkers

Paid by hour

Timeworkers are employees paid by the hour or by time spent rather than by output or piece rate.

The term distinguishes them from pieceworkers, who earn based on how much they produce.

The factory employed both timeworkers on hourly wages and pieceworkers paid per unit.
