Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Hourly offers an integrated platform that brings together payroll, time tracking, HR and workers' compensation insurance in a single system. Time, task and location data is collected from workers as work happens and relayed to the employer in real time, and payroll is run by reviewing recorded hours and approving payment.

The workers' compensation component is connected to payroll and time tracking so that premiums are calculated from real-time wage data on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the stated aim of eliminating estimation and end-of-period billing surprises. Employers can integrate existing workers' comp coverage through their insurance agent so that billing is automatic.

Business model

Hourly provides employer-facing software for payroll, time tracking and HR, coupled with workers' compensation insurance whose billing is driven by payroll data; coverage can be arranged through the employer's insurance agent.

Traction

The company states it provides payroll and workers' compensation insurance for more than 500 businesses and cites an average customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 across Capterra, Google and G2.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market

Market position

Rather than treating insurance and payroll separately, Hourly ties workers' compensation premiums directly to real-time wage and hours data, so employers pay for the coverage actually used instead of relying on estimated payroll figures.

Technology

The platform captures time, task and location data from workers as it occurs and streams it to employers, then feeds that real-time wage data into workers' compensation premium calculation and payroll processing.

Go-to-market

Sales run through the company website via free trial sign-up and demo requests, with workers' comp coverage integrated in cooperation with the customer's insurance agent. Customer ratings are cited from Capterra, Google and G2.

Business owners employing hourly and field workforces, including construction and trades (electricians, plumbers, masons), maintenance and repair (elevators, HVAC, building systems), transportation and logistics, manufacturing, landscaping, sanitation, food service, and energy services.
