Question

Which statement accurately compares hourly and salaried employees?

Only salaried employees receive a W-2 statement.
Only hourly employees have an assigned work schedule.
Both hourly and salaried employees work 40 hours per week.
Both hourly and salaried employees are paid by the employer.

Answer 1

"Both hourly and salaried employees are paid by the employer."

Explanation: Both are employee classifications who receive pay (wages or salary) from their employer. The other statements are false: both receive W-2s, either type can have assigned schedules, and hours worked vary (not always 40/week).
