    I usually work around 17 hours per day, but only get paid for 8 of those.

    ouch, I at least get compensated for my hours. There is the rare occasion of no-comp, but it is rare. Now time-and-a-half is only for hourly workers, but there is straight time compensation for salaried personnel on approved hours, on overtime approved jobs.

      Why would you assume that? I see no reason to get paid for work I do at home (e.g., father, husband, landowner). ;)

        LUXURY!!! I get up, every morning at 12:01am lick the road clean for breakfast, go to work with no breaks, I get off work 23 hours and 58 minutes later, go to sleep at 12 while my neighbor beats me to sleep with a bread knife. ( or something like that )

          good one.... I guess I jumped to the conclusion because my last job I did work 19.5 a few times (and then only paid for 8). Here I have pulled 16-18 on VERY rare occasions (but compensated fully). But I will admit, you caught me. :) I guess that brings my hours to about the same with only 10-12 being compensated.

                    I am at work for 8.5 hours minus 1 hour for lunch. I only work about 4-5 hours per day though.

                      Did someone recently ask this question? I am expected to work 40 but we have flexible working hours. As long as the work is done and you work four hours you can leave and not take vacation time. At quarter end we may have to put in some extra time though.

                              I get awoken gently by my wife at 8.20am with a cup of tea. I get up shower, dress and eat a bowl of cereal before getting in my car at 8.45am. I drive the 1 mile to work (not lazy, but need car for work sometimes!). Start work at 9.00am, well read online Daily telegraph, by 9.45am I am clicking onto BBC news site and maybe a quick game of Spider before serious work from 10.00am to 1.00pm. Hour for Lunch, saunter back about 2.15pm. Check headlines, weather and make a couple of personal calls. Chat with co workers. More serious work from 3.00pm to 5.00pm Round off day by chatting and surfing. Leave at 5.29pm on dot. I am departmental head. If any other bugger tried it I would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

                                That is about the same for me. However last week the average was around 14hrs /day. Now only if I actually got paid for the hours I worked instead of the 37.5 that gets automatically printed in my timesheet...

                                  Same here. Except you forgot the break period in between. 1.0-1.1 hours/day.

                                    Do I count the time I spend reading reposts on cp? Like the one where someone asked a couple of days ago what everyone's average working hours per day was?

                                      I used to put in quite a lot of overtime hours, but since they never payed for them and the bonus was a waste I just stopped wasting my time. When my overtime hours will be appreciated (not only by seldom thank-yous) I'll probably consider doing it again. I put in a few extra hours now and then if it's something really serious but that's it.

                                        I tend to work from 8:30AM to 6PM with 30 minutes or so for lunch. I am paid for 37.5 hours a week, with 5 weeks paid holiday.

                                          Oh cool. You must have installed the Quad-core™ cerebral cortex. How's that working for you? I heard they had heat management problems.
