Overview
Hourly provides an integrated cloud-based platform for payroll, time and attendance tracking, and workers’ compensation insurance for small and medium-sized businesses with hourly employees. It syncs real-time payroll data with time tracking (including GPS clock-ins) to calculate workers’ comp premiums on a pay-as-you-go basis, and it includes automated payroll tax filings and same-day direct deposit. It stands out by delivering pay-as-you-go workers’ compensation and a mobile-first, all-in-one system tailored to industries with variable-hour work, such as construction. Its goal is to simplify complex payroll and HR tasks for SMBs and expand its services across the United States through strategic growth and partnerships.

What critics are saying

- Small-business payroll is crowded; Fingercheck, Gusto, and Rippling attack adjacent workflows.
- If weSure integration stalls, Hourly becomes a commoditized payroll tool inside a subscale insurer.
What makes Hourly unique

- WeSure’s 2025 acquisition gives Hourly integrated carrier access and underwriting control.
- Real-time payroll pricing eliminates annual workers’ comp estimates and audit friction.
