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.
Minimum wage rates vary from state to state, and employers are required to pay either the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is higher. 1  An hourly employee is paid for the number of hours they work per week up to 40 hours at a determined rate. Per federal law, hourly workers are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked over 40 hours per work week. Employees paid on an hourly basis are paid for actual hours worked.
