| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:24 | comment | added | JeffC | @person27 I'm not sure what you are trying to say... I'd like to see someone work more than 24 hours a day whether it's legal or not... | |

In general, they can only demand overtime if your contract says so, but most places will put it in the contract just in case. Even so, there's a limit to how much overtime you can do per week (unless you sign an agreement saying otherwise), and your average hourly wage including overtime isn't allowed to go below the statutory minimum wage. Employers often handle this by offering time off in lieu (conveniently shortened to TOIL) - basically, they give you more time off as a substitute for pay. Normally one hour of overtime nets you one hour off, but not always. | |

| Apr 27, 2018 at 3:45 | comment | added | jkd | @Mazura I think it is illegal in many countries but employers still expect it. | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 1:00 | comment | added | Mazura | Oh, getting fucked definitely happens in the US too, except here it's illegal. | |
| Apr 26, 2018 at 10:18 | comment | added | ssn | This is exactly the phenomenon I am looking for. Salaried employees who are staying beyond their "hours" (even though they are not getting paid extra to do so). E.g. your last one with: "crunching" is a fun describtion/slang. Wondered if there is anything that can be used in broader terms than in Software; where people would understand what you mean when saying it. | |
