It's cultural. Living in Europe, I've always been confused how salaried workers would not have set hours per week in the US.

I'm literally selling my working hours to a company. Of course the contract is going to have to include exactly how many hours I'm selling and how much money I'm getting in return.

It is an employment contract. I'm not selling the completion of a specific task or a project (that would be a different type of contract and I would price it very differently), I'm selling specific hours my time.

In the US there isn't the same concept of an employment contract as there is in most of Europe
