I agree in principle -- if I get $x an hour for 8 hours of my time, who cares if the employer's internal system considers this to be $x+whatever for 7.5 hours? Two possible problems though:
1. Minimum wage. The pay needs to be high enough so this doesn't turn into a way to pay people below minimum wage.
2. Overtime. With this system, it takes 2.5 more hours to start making time and a half. Unless everyone works at most 40 (real) hours a week, this will be a problem.
