Technically on duty 24/7, but get paid the same whether I leave early or work weekends. Salary can suck sometimes.

I'm salary and I rarely work a full day. I roll in around 7:30am, work until 12:30pm, take an hour lunch and go home at 3:30pm. So I'm really putting in a seven hour day. Once in a while I'll say a few hours late but it doesn't come up often.

My first job, no overtime. Was on salary. But I got super nice Christmas bonuses and had 5 weeks off, paid, every year.

Second job was hourly, but my boss REALLY didn't want me getting overtime, ever.

My current job is production based. I do have a set schedule, and I'm not sure how that works if I go over my end time or start early. I do get a slight bump in pay for working on holidays, but we don't get any holidays off unless we specifically ask for it.

I'm a server admin now, which means lots of after hours work. For some reason people get ranky if we shut their file servers off in the middle of the day. I do get to adjust my schedule so that the hours I work after normal hours, I don't have to work during the day that week, but I don't get overtime. Then I go home and work another job banning spammers for a few hours. Then I spend my weekends fixing peoples computers.

I think I need to start subcontracting.

Self Employed, working over 40 hr/week is the norm, but it does mean more money. Sadly, it's erratic. I have to work 16-20 hour days as much as possible to make up for the days I make zilch.

I'm salary basically. I get paid for 40 hours a week - no overtime or comp time or stand-by time, or anything outside my 40hours.

I work 40 hours - really probably a little bit more as policy is that we work an 8.5 hour day and take a 1/2hour lunch. 8am to 4:30pm is the normal work day. More often than not my lunch is taken right here at my desk though - but on the flip side i'm overly lavish with my break time internetting.

Occasionally I have to work off hours - I try and take time off some during the regular week within the same pay cycle in compensation.

Really, the degree of stringency in ones work schedule around here boils down to ones supervisor - or the individual that has to sign your time sheet. Current supervisor is a pretty relaxed guy - but my supervisor's change frequently.

As I government employee I like to think the tax-payers are getting their money's worth with me.

I'm salaried, but classed as "non-exempt" for overtime. The company's reasoning is that they can pay less during 40 hour weeks and pay normal software wages during crunch time weeks and travel weeks. That's okay with me since the cost of living around here is very low.

One pay-grade promotion, though, and it's 40 hours salaried "exempt" from overtime. I don't think that will happen this year, but it's a possibility next year.

Put in a few extra hours so the tax-payers can get their money's worth from me as well.

It's everyone who works in software development's favorite time of the project life cycle, the last month!

My favorite time is feature lock. Hands down, not close. Well, maybe rejecting change requests afterward, but that's more of an event and less of a "time" I guess

Could be a carpenter or painter. I guess both of those are part of the moonshine industry, though.
