In our current contract you would still only get 1:00 till you went over :15 minutes. For example now if the flight takes you 1:15 you still only get paid 1:00. Trip value or better seems to me to be the same as block or better.
Scheduled block includes a buffer of time to prevent late arrivals. Most pilots get paid for that buffer. 9E pilots do not.
