They always get more than their due. They have to, or they won’t be able to profit. But the same could be said for when you were working at an hourly rate. Nobody is paid what they are “worth.”
Oftentimes a shift from hourly to salary comes about because they need you to do more than they can pay you to do at an hourly rate.
When I started with my current company, everyone worked on a salary. But we were partnered with ADP and when they found out, they required the owner to switch anyone who wasn’t in a management position to hourly rates because they were too exploitable when working for a salary.
