I think wages should be based on performance rather than an hourly wage.
Hourly wage is a fixed wage paid to workers no matter how productive the worker is. Therefore, such a wage does not provide any incentive for the worker to produce more output. Therefore, such a wage system does not increase productivity.
However, a performance-based pay provides an incentive to a worker to produce more so that he/she can earn more wage. Therefore, such a wage system has the right incentives to increase productivity.
