Yeah, theres an hour for lunch. It works out to 8 hour days
You're supposed to get paid for that.
“Supposed to” according to what?
If you’re in the US, Federal labor laws explicitly allow “meal periods” to not be paid, though short breaks must be paid. Neither is required to be offered to employees, though.

State laws differ, of course, and many states - e.g., California - have much more employee-friendly laws. However, even in CA, a meal period must be offered but isn’t required to be paid (unless it’s an on-duty meal break).
You get salary, its paid
But do you get paid for 8 hour days or 9 hour days?
8 to 5 is 9 hours. They don't get to not pay you for your lunch break.
You get paid for the month. You arent paid by the hour, you are paid for working for them.
Its a different mindset
OK so next time you've done your work for the day, try going home early. Do let us know how it goes.
You aren't paid by the hour as long as it suits the company. As soon as it suits you, you're damn well going to sit there until 5pm staring at the ceiling if you have to, THEN you can go home.
That depends on your manager. Ive had some that let me work whenever, one that wanted butt in seat, and right now, I play video games so long as Im reachable.
