Reasons to Love Hourly Pay (Mostly) If you have an hourly position, you already know the answer. As an hourly employee, you are paid for all (or most) of the hours you work. If the employer wants more of your time, it has to pay you more. Legal overtime is time and a half; some employers may pay double time for holidays, but that isn't mandatory unless it's part of a contract that covers your job.
Nonexempt employees are typically paid by the hour and are entitled to overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours a week, while exempt employees (typically in salaried positions) are not eligible to receive overtime pay. As a salaried worker, you're expected to do your job in whatever time it takes.If you work less than 40 hours a week due to a medical appointment or a sick day, you still receive the same wages. The same is true if you work for 60 hours a week. For most hourly workers, if you don't work, you don't get paid.It's also true that some hourly positions can pay more than salaried positions, either due to higher pay or compensation for extra hours.he same is true if you work for 60 hours a week.
