It seems like you are trying to figure out if you can get an employee to do more work then others for the same amount of money. The basic idea is that you pay people for the work they do. If they get it done quicker then others, that is none of your god damned business! Maximize those resources == screw people out of what they deserve. It's your job as an employer to figure out what a fair amount of compensation is for a certain level of work. If you don't have a clue, and can't do that, and instead are experimenting to see how much you can squeeze out of your employees, then I don't want to work for you. I suspect many high quality employees wouldn't.
