[Avodah] workers righs

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

I am learning the gemara towards the end of BM that there is a mitzvah to
pay workers on time.
The CC states that since the gemara elsewhere states that wages are due
only at the end for the mitzvah one should not pay ahead of time. Thus for
example R Zilberstein deals with question of sherut taxis from Bnei Brak to
Jerusalem where they demand to be paid ahead of time
(his answer to pat the driver once the taxi reaches the main road  - it is
not clear the taxi drivers will agree to this solution)

Two questions
1) Since the mitzvah to pay the worker on time is explained that he relies
on the wages for his living - why should there be a problem to pay ahead of
time even though one is not required
2) Since in general monetary matters are ruled by agreements why can't the
two sides agree to pay ahead of time

Simple example - a baby sitter who leaves before the parents come home. Why
can't she be paid ahead of time instead of leaving the money on the table
and she makes a "kinyan" when leaving.
