Not necessarily.  Productivity gains can come back to the employee.  I used to work at a place where my boss wanted a status report printed out and on his desk by 7:00.  Before I figured out how to automate the status report, I had to come in at 6:00 every day to prepare the report.  I was on salary, so I didn&#x27;t get paid for the extra time.  After, I came in at 6:45.  I guarantee I captured my own productivity gains there.<p>Edit: I was working as an engineer at a manufacturing plant, for context.
