is this not backwards? salaried employee means you get paid the same amount no matter how many hours you work.

There is a lot of regulatory stuff, particularly around benefits, that push people towards nominally 40hr salaried contracts even if they don't need all 40 of those.

"Salaried" vs hourly is increasingly a scam anyway, but all that benefits stuff is something that would have to evolve. And it could, if people find the political will.

typically there is a floor, at least de facto.
