Salaried vs hourly: the 2-week paid vacation gap

Most US salaried jobs include paid PTO (vacation, sick days, holidays) — typically 2-4 weeks. You're paid the same gross whether you work 50 or 52 weeks. Most hourly jobs do NOT include paid PTO — you get paid only when you work. That's why "$60,000 salaried" usually corresponds to a higher hourly rate than "$60,000 worth of work at $X/hour" when comparing total compensation including the implicit PTO.

The 2080-hour convention

When converting salary to hourly for HR/legal purposes, many companies use a flat 2,080 hours/year (52 weeks × 40 hours, no PTO discount). That's an approximation that ignores paid vacation. The most honest version: salaried with PTO = your hourly rate based on the hours you actually work (typically 1,920-2,000 hours/year accounting for vacation/holidays).
