If you are a salaried, paid, toucher of computers, you are likely nominally paid for "40 hours" of work per week, though "exempt" (from getting paid overtime).

Given that companies pay different salary bands for "the same job" based on location, it doesn't seem like it's for specific results, or literal time.

If you get "your work" done in half the time, do you owe them more work?

If you didn't get work done do you owe them more work?
