YES. People tend to have a sense of what they make per hour, but very few people have a sense of their daily rate, unless they're consultants.

Why? Isn't it equally easy to divide a monthly salary by 30 as by 30 x 8 (ignoring holidays, to keep it simple)?
Do you suppose that there's a psychological effect here; where employees compare their hourly rate to your hourly rate? And it's less intuitive to compare a daily rate to an hourly rate?
Apologies if I'm off the mark.
