Pay, Wage, or Salary?
I am looking for a right word to describe money which is given to a student who are doing a part-time job. To me, "hourly pay" sounds good for part-time jobs. I feel something strange to say hourly wage or hourly salary. Am I right? Or please leave your comment about money for a part-time job and give me your advice to my question. Thank you.

Salary usually refers to annual pay, regardless of hours worked. Hourly wage or hourly pay is used for any employee whose income is calculated by the hour, whether they are working part- or full-time.

Just adding slightly different perspective:
"salary" and サラリーマン are related. the サラリー comes from "salary".
So, it should be easy to remember that salary is (mostly) about long-term contracts.

I would use "hourly wage"
"The hourly wage of the student is $10.50"
If you were asking a question to the employer, you could say: "What do you pay per hour?, How much do you pay per hour?"
Hourly wage or "wages" sounds much more appropriate.
