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.
An employee's hourly rate for a job is based on his salary and the number of hours he's supposed to work. When you calculate an hourly rate, do not include any other compensation, such as overtime or bonus pay, or value provided by an employee benefit program, such as vacation or sick pay.ourly Rate Calculation. To convert a full-time salary to an hourly rate, use the standard hours for the job to calculate the hourly wage. For example, to convert an annual salary of $52,000 to an hourly rate for a job that requires 2,080 hours per year, divide 52,000 by 2,080 to arrive at an hourly rate of $25.
