Typically salaried jobs are the ones that are nearly impossible to calculate actual amount of work people have to do to get work done, work has to be taken home or dine before and after hours and it can’t be even properly calculated. If I was paid hourly they’d have to pay me around 60 hours a week at least. They wouldn’t like that. Lol

Typically hourly jobs are the ones where its easier to measure actual amount of work and work typically isn’t taken home. And every extra work gets compensated.

In my experience those are just different type of jobs.

Nothing to do with benefits or contracts. My husband is RN, hospital employee. I am a high school teacher, employee of a school district. He is hourly and I am salaried just due to nature of our jobs. Nothing to do with contractual position or benefits.
