Typical costs: 1  Depending on the type of event and the level of security needed, security guards can cost $10-$100 per hour. 2  An unarmed security guard typically costs $12-$20 per hour, while an armed security guard costs typically costs $18-$25 per hour. 3  The time of day also affects pricing.
The Federal Labor Standards Act applies to security guards if the guard's employer is engaged in commerce producing goods or services with sales in excess of $500,000 annually. The FLSA requires employers to pay security guards the federal minimum wage of $7.25 hourly, as of 2009. Security guards must be paid time-and-a-half of the guard's normal pay for hours that exceed a 40-hour workweek. Overtime pay must be calculated weekly, and the employer may not simply average the security guard's workweek over two-week pay cycles.
