Being serious about this for just a minute. There was a time in my IT career when I worked for a County Council and had some responsibilities in the Payroll Team. One of the systems we ran was for 'Roadman's Bonus'. This calculated bonuses they were paid for getting work done on time etc. It was then I was introduced to the concept of a 'working minute' which could last up to 90 seconds. It was accepted that for people doing heavy manual work, time for recovery had to be factored in, and it could not be expected that someone weilding a shovel could work continuously for 8 hours of a working day...
