Wow, what a backwards company. This reminds of how IBM used to measure productivity of programmers by the number of lines of code they've written.

Everybody knows that there is much more work involved in programming than just typing characters into an IDE. I've never heard of any programming contract jobs that were as strict on hours as this. Whats stopping you from leaving and explaining exactly what you just wrote to the client? You are getting a very bad deal.

OP was probably broke before the job and is worried about having income.

True, if you are not in a position to risk leaving this job then I suggest you save up at least 3 months worth of living expenses and then quit. Bottom line is this company is screwing you over.
