Because salaried sales employees should understand that weekend travel is part of the job.
If I was a waged employee that had to build widgets I was going to sell then fair enough. That's called overtime, and you punch a card that shows it. But because you are salary and work in sales, there are a number of perks that are enjoyed during working hours that I allow. I don't stand over my employees checking productivity sheets all day, asking what they are doing every minute of the day. The tradeoff for that is when I need something done outside normal working hours it doesn't turn into extra holiday time.
I don't like people working for me that don't see the difference.
