what I should do ?

There is work to do for tomorrow. He finished today's work. If he works more than he is being paid it is like charity work.

It sounds very attractive. Me and my colleague are given similar tasks. I finish it early. He can not. Why should I be treated the same? It is obvious that I am superior.

So I'll over quote all my work and be finished every day for lunch, sure maybe in Romania but not in developed countries.

It is never you the one who decides how much time should your assignment take.

how about some sincere words of wisdom like telling the manager that I have completed the job and get the new task and tell him that I would start working on it from tomorrow. P.S. That's what I did

He just said he doesn't want to do more work. How do you not see that this is laziness?

Not at all. It shows he is hard-working. He worked harder to finish his work in less time than supposed!

Strange that of all the people writing in this thread you are the only one who believes that.

Yes, it is strange, indeed. You are programmers. You should be on the programmer's side. Instead, you seem to be on the side of the man who forgot / never knew how to code (the boss).

If you consistently finish your tasks sooner, then you should be awarded a pay rise. That's the way the system works, not with time off.

If you are not a programmer, what are you doing on a programming site? I personally know lots of bosses. They do mainly administrative work.

I am both a company owner, and a coder. I've probably been coding longer than you've been alive - that gives me the right to be on a programming site, and being a boss I have more perspective on what employers expect than you seem to.

He finished the task he was assigned to. He deserves a promotion or a salary raise because he is proficient and quick. If you force the employee do more that he was assigned in the same time, you steal from him. Who is the thief then?
What are you on? If he has finished his job he has the moral obligation to ask for more. End of story. His job has to be done proficiently and quick. This is why he was hired at first place. This is like asking for extra money for doing the job well... so what? I have had tons of work to do and if one of my workers finishes the part I've assigned him he has to ask for more. I'll give him a little bit more, and I'll decide if it's time to work in other projects, if he has to learn any other / new technology or whatever, but of course he has to work all the contract hours as his contract specifies...

Not fair - I wanted to give him a 5 too, but now if I do it will not look perfect any more

Depends on your contract. If he is contracted to complete a particular task and to be paid a specified amount for that task then you are correct - but then he would be a contractor not an employee. As an employee you are contracted to provide your labour for a number of hours. Finish a job - start the next one. Simple
