Tunnipõhiseid

Tunnipõhiseid, which translates to "hourly-based" in English, is an Estonian term used to describe a system or arrangement where compensation or services are calculated or provided according to a set hourly rate. This model is commonly applied in various sectors of the economy.

In the context of employment, tunnipõhiseid refers to an hourly wage system, where an employee is paid a specific amount for each hour they work. This is in contrast to salaried positions, where compensation is a fixed amount regardless of the exact hours worked. This type of payment structure allows for flexibility in working hours and ensures that workers are compensated for the time they dedicate to their tasks.

Beyond employment, the term can also describe services that are billed on an hourly basis. For example, consulting services, freelance work, or certain professional services might adopt a tunnipõhiseid model. Clients are charged according to the time spent by the service provider, offering transparency in billing and allowing for variable project scopes. This approach is prevalent when the exact duration of a task is difficult to predict in advance.

The implementation of tunnipõhiseid systems requires accurate time tracking and clear communication of the hourly rates involved. It is a widely recognized method for structuring remuneration and service costs in many economic activities.
