    In the auto mechanics trades, there is a book called the Mitchell
    Motor Manual, that spells out labor times for each specific task,
    such as 3.5 hours to replace a damaged fender. When the shop writes
    an estimate for this job, each task is looked at in the manual, and
    the labor time listed is multiplied times the shop rate per hour.
    When the repairman does the job, if he can do the job in 3 hours,
    instead of the listed 3.5 hrs, then he gets paid for 3.5 hours times
    the agreed upon hourly rate. If it takes him 4 hours, he still gets
    paid for 3.5 hours times his hourly rate. Hence if he is highly
    skilled at his trade he makes more per hour actually worked. And for
    the less skilled, he makes less per actual hour worked. This pricing
    system provides incentive to become better/faster at your trade.
