I believe this is mainly for warranty or recall work. If it's out of warranty, then the charges can be much higher. It also depends on the difficulty of the work being done. I had my Mustangs rear diff seal replaced under warranty, and I guarantee you that doing that wasn't that bad in terms of pay or time taken.
And you shouldn't be being paid fake rates. You should be being paid *at least* your worked hours. Playing otherwise is, I would argue, theft. So 40 hours a week plus whatever overtime you would earn.
