wage increase
Higher hourly rate
A wage increase is a raise in pay, typically referring to hourly workers or broad workforce adjustments rather than individual salary negotiations.
The term appears in discussions of labor policy, union contracts, and minimum wage debates: The union negotiated a 3% wage increase.
