Often in the US we’re quoted yearly salaries by businesses for full-time positions. They will hire us for, say, $52k per year, and that will be given as $2,000 every 2 weeks. But then if we get a $500/yr raise, they don’t tell us what the new rate is on the paycheck: we have to log into the account and see the pay stub to know what our hourly rates and biweekly paychecks actually are.
Typically, it’s hourly quotes for part-time and often full-time salaried workers, and yearly quotes for full-time, especially salary exempt. Personally, I get a yearly quote, and have to look up my stub to see what the hourly or my two week gross are.
Divide your annual salary by 2080 hours/year for the hourly rate.
The 2080 assumes you’re salaried at the normal 40 hours per week rate. Salaried employees don’t get a variable amount each week if you work more or less hours than normal.
Right, so the general rule stands.
