So when two executives play golf and get to know each-other and want to work together and that brings the company millions of dollars, should they be paid for that time? Should they be paid the same hourly rate as when they sign time sheets for their employees?

If two shift workers from different companies play golf together and it doesn't in any way generate business for the company, should THAT be paid?

What if the executives play golf but don't ultimately work together? Should that be paid?

IOW, the job descriptions are often different enough that using the same salary structure is silly.

If delivery workers were paid by the hour with no expectation of meeting any 'numbers', would they drive slower? Would they walk or work slower? WOuld it take 30 seconds to get that price check or fix your internet issue or 30 minutes?
