Betsy, that's just...well, that's just awful. Why?
And why don't hourly employees get bonuses. That's just stupid.
Thanks, sj! Now, you wanna finish this paper for me?

Gud, I've checked. Labor law (FSLA) has an explicit exemption written into it for computer professionals. Even if you're paying a computer professional by the hour, you don't have to pay time-and-a-half.
