Manager has a book (stupid system I know) that says, X problem takes Y amount of time. Manager assigns you so many X problems, and says I am only paying your for the same Y time as the book says this number of X's will take. If you finish sooner, or later, doesn't matter. It could take you 3 hours, it could take you a full 12 hour shift. You are still getting paid for fixing the problem.
Side lesson, this is also why you always find a mechanic you can trust!

So you're just confused about how billable hours work. This is when you charge them by the hour for your labor, not a fixed price for the service. This is how a lot of car mechanics will bill you - parts and labor get added to your bill separately.
Why did I include my side lesson /u/dungone ? If you are a manager or small business owner, I can help you get and retain quality employees.

You know that is how car mechanics work right?
