Typically, a move from hourly to salaried work comes with a promotion and additional responsibility. As long as you're up for the extra work, there's no reason not to take the raise. But realize that if you work more than 40 hours in a week (which many salaried workers do), you won't get any extra money.n some cases, you may prefer to keep your hourly wage. For example, if you consistently rack up overtime, moving to a salaried position wouldn't provide you much benefit. And if the salaried position comes with additional responsibility that you aren't ready to have, then decline politely.
