Been there myself. I was hourly until my overtime got to be more than they were wanting to pay. Unless you have some written agreement, there are no laws regarding the hours you can work. One thing I did was take some comp time when I could. Still, the company got more from me than I got from them. I eventually just quit doing the overtime. It made them mad and caused them to treat me poorly, but in a way they were already doing that. I eventually had to leave the company. If a company does not compensate you fairly, they most likely never will. If you give and the company does not return the favor, they probably never will. Consider changing jobs. You should work for a living and not live to work.

Legally, when you are salary, they can do exactly what they are doing to your husband...and NO, there is no limit except what is humanly impossible (and that number can be debatable and not set in stone). And did you know that if he works less than 40 hours a week, he will have to take 'vacation time' unless it's agreed with his boss (or is not company policy) that he can just take a lower paycheck and doesn't have to account for 40 hours a week. So, salary is a great deal for managment (more work in, less money out). This is why I will never work salary. On top of all this, salary jobs usually mean more responsibility. Most management jobs are salary. Better to take a lesser position and get hourly pay and overtime. Cuz' basically, to do otherwise, is to pay the company so you can be 'boss'.

When on salary(varies by state) there is no such thing as overtime. You work your sceduled times and over when needed. A lot of employers put people on salary to avoid the cost of overtime. I am a salaried employee and stay over at least 2-3 days a week. If the extra time worked seems to be almost like a second job, then he may want to ask for a raise.

That is a part of being salary. He should be able to leverage a bigger raise if he's working those kind of hours.
I worked where I only got $5/hr. for overtime if I worked over 45 hours. They didn't have to pay us at all for overtime since we were salary. But the job necessitated sometimes staying late. My boss would ask me to stay late and finish something that a client needed and I would do it. When the time came, he fought for a 40% pay raise for me when I got another offer to keep me from leaving.

I do overtime at my job all the time, and I dont eve get paid for it, which I feel isn't fair at all, on salary i cnnot get no more than 40 hours a week, but my job reuires me to stay late hours smetimes. Tell your husband to investigate the issue because some employers will lie so they dont have to pay the employee more money so they can conserve for the company. Investigate it.

When you work for a salary, you have no rights as far as overtime. I have been salaried for most of my working life and it was not uncommon to be required to work 60-70 hours a week.
If your husband is not happy doing this? I would suggest that he continue working while looking for another job.

It is difficult to give you an accurate answer as the laws pertaining to employment standards, the minimum requirement for employers & employeesin regards to employment, are different from country to country. I suggest you look at the employment legislation for your country pertaining to employment standards as that will indicate the amount of hours required by law. There are also government sites that can assist you in this determination:

Tell him to stop working hours he's not being paid for. Unless he has 'screwed up' and is making up for his own mistakes - he should be getting paid, or not working...
