Contract hours 37.5 hrs/week, although I usually work 40-45. I'm salaried, but do get overtime at basic rate. I made sure I got a job where overtime was paid - I got so badly screwed in a previous job that I vowed "never again". Also, I really enjoy doing what I do, so am happy to put the extra work in.

I work in an engineering consultancy, so we just bill all our time to the clients anyway, unless the job is fixed fee and running out of money, then we are politely asked to do a bit of overtime for free. We don't mind doing it though, as the company treats us well and we get paid for most of what we do. Flextime, paid overtime, 37.5 hours base - that's how to keep a workforce happy.
