My daughter is 16 years old. She works at our business 20 hours per week as receptionist. Can I pay her salary base on her average hrs/week or I have to pay her hourly?

That is not a tax question. That is a business decision. Either way, you issue a W-2 to her and she can file her own tax return, but must say on it that she can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
