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.
