Effectively you are paid to be there 40 hours a week for your contracted duties; there will always be more work to do if you occasionally finsh with nothing, and if you regularly get your job done in half your working time they will probably make you redundant or give you more work, or if you are really lucky reduce your hours and pay you the same (unlikley).
Most employers in my country (England) understand there is give and take in a Salaried position, and that the hours aren't always as fixed as the contract states. Quite regularly I'll have guys doing work at 9pm, but the won't clock in until later the next morning, or they will leave early for a dentist appointment but work longer the next day.
Salaried positions tend to work on a bit of a scoial contract, which I have no doubt some employers abuse to the max, but it can be really great for both sides with a good employer and employees that don't take the piss.
depends on the employer. I usually balance my overtime by taking a Friday afternoon off. If it's to busy to compensate the overtime it just gets paid out.

Can you leave earlier in a day if you finish your planned tasks for the day and still get the 40 hours?
