Use your head. Just because they do the paperwork doesn't mean you're not billing them for your time.

Umm.. no. I can work 60 hrs a week, but I still get paid for the 40 hours. That's the definition of a salary

I get that being pedantic is fun and all, but give me a break.

If your salary reflects a 40-hr week, and you work 60, all you're doing is reducing the $/hr you make. If you do non-work-related stuff at work, and you expect compensation for it, you're billing your company for time you shouldn't be.

I refuse to believe you don't get this.

When you're salary your compensation isn't based on your time. So your argument doesn't really make sense. It doesn't matter how much time you spend on non-related stuff at work, as long as you get your work done. That's kind of the point of salary.

For many of us, our salary isn't for any particular number of hours, but for accomplishing things.
