Hey all I don't normally post but I thought this might shed some light on 
the question at hand.  I believe that an employer may pay you a fixed amount 
regardless of the number of hours worked if you fall into specific 
occupations which are exempted from the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), one 
of those occupations is a "computer systems analyst, software engineer, or 
other similarly skilled worker" .  For the full text of the law visit, 
(check out section 
13 )http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/statutes/whd/FairLaborStandAct.pdf .  Anyway 
hope this might help.

Dave
