Explanation:

Part-time workers are called to duty on a need basis.  Usually, part-time workers are assigned specific tasks to perform is within a particular duration. Their contribution is measured in terms of hours worked or completed units of output.

Part-time workers contrast with full-time workers who report for duty every working day. Part-time workers are not required to work for certain hours per week or month like full-time workers. The number of hours that a part-time worker works in a week varies from time to time. Therefore, the best way of compensating them is through an hourly rate.
