The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) governs how this is (legally) handled.
The classification terminology that applies is "exempt" and "non-exempt".
"Exempt" employees are those that are exempt from the provisions of FLSA
that require overtime pay and related considerations. "Non-exempt" employees
are covered under the provisions of FLSA, one of which requires overtime
pay. The determination of whether or not a job is exempt or non-exempt can
be complicated and based on several considerations. If anyone is really
interested, I'll dredge up a link to the US Depart of Labor.

Become a consultant. Once you are a "salaried professional" you are
overtime exempt. If they have to pay directly for every hour you work, then
they tend to be much less cavalier with wasting your time. There is no
dis-incentive for them to work you overtime, billing for each hour creates
this dis-incentive.

Subject: What do you get for Over Time
I was wondering if anyone has any policies set up for Over Time.
The reason I ask is one of the other network guys and myself have put in
about 40 hours over time this month and we receive nothing for it.
Just wondering what policies are set up at other companies to compensate for
over time.
We consistently work about 8-12 hours over a month and we get no time off or
anything for this.
Management keeps telling us it is just part of our job and we can not get
any comp time even though we are only scheduled for
40 hours a week.
