Why does #3 get complicated? Shouldn't matter if I'm being paid hourly or on salary. The contract is for X amount of money for a pre-determined amount of work (usually 40 hours). Now, if I can't do my job in 40 hours, that's on me. But if my employer keeps handing me more to do, then it's on them and I would expect something in return. Heck, even the State of Texas gives comp time as it's against state law to work for 'free'.
