My dh went on salary in dec, because of his job the boss said anything he does over his salary he will be paid the difference for. (he works at a auto body shop).
That has only happened once. Dh works 40-45hrs a week. If he leaves early he will go in early to make it up. He feels guilty if he only works 38hrs and still takes his full salary, he has adjusted his pay a few times to compensate for less then 40hrs but, he does not adjust his pay to compensate himself for over 40hrs.I think he is nuts lol,

DH is also in ministry and is one of 9 pastors at our church. He works about 50-60 hours a week depending on the week. There's no set 'hours' he has to work but he SHOULD put in atleast 40, I'd guess.

Well, dh is salaried and it is understood that he will generally work approximately 8 hours at work each day (or at work sites/offsite meetings/blah blah blah), but it is also understood that he has a job to do. So, he is usually in the office from around 8:15/30 to around 5:30 each day with time out for lunch, but then he generally puts in about 10-15 extra hours over the course of the week which is spread out over evenings and weekends. He will send out AND THEN RECEIVE emails at all hours of the night.
I'm "salaried" (I figured a set salary). My work week is 26 hours long right now. I generally put approximately zero time in my job outside of the office except on those rare occassions when I have someone in crisis, but that probably amounts to about 5 hours/year.

This sounds like my dh. He's in sales and works from home. I would say he works about 50-60 hours a week. He's salary plus he gets a monthly commission.

Dh has always been salaried (since being licensed).
He's never had a minimum or maximum hourly designation. Some weeks he works 80 hours - others more like 36.
DH is salaried and works around 50 hours a week in the office, many more during an emergency situation and is generally on call all of the time, so gets lots of 3 am phone calls. I'm fed up with it. He certainly isn't well-paid, and I feel they take advantage of him. He enjoys his job, but I definitely think he needs his work week specified next time he is up for a review. In 3 days he has already worked 10 hours over. Fine, but next Friday is his visit to Dr. Snippity-Snip, so he needs to leave work 2 hours early. And he has to use vacation time to do so. Ugh. I thought that was the whole point of working a salaried position. You work over some days, but then you can take a couple hours off when something personal comes up.
Have I said that I hate it?

Dh is salary and until about a month ago he was working 90 to 100 hours a week. Literally working and sleeping (and not much sleep). He recently went down to 55 to 60 hours a week and it feels like HEAVEN!! He's about to pick up more hours though, sigh. It sucks being married to a work-a-holic. I would be THRILLED with 40 or 45 hours a week. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I tell myself at least we aren't military or I'm not a single mom. There are people who have it much worse, for sure.
He has to work 40 hours a week, but if he works more than 44 he gets paid overtime (on the 4 hours plus any more, but if you only worked 42 you wouldn't get overtime...I *think* is how it works). But you have to be authorized to work overtime, you can't just decide on your own that you're going to work more. He usually works less than 45 hours a week.

Carl is salaried. I think for 45 hours a week? He normally works shorter hours 6 days a week (since that includes Sunday), and takes Saturday off. But sometimes he needs to do a little on Saturday, too, so then he works even less. Right now he's taking a nap. Oh, his 45 hours includes a study day, too. (and of course he does reading and study every day, but his study day is normally off-site and he doesn't make very many phone calls).
Dh is salaried but he does get straight overtime pay (meaning his normal pay rate, not time and a half). He works as much as he needs to. Usually 9-10 hour days and lots of weekends. He loves his job though, so it isn't like they force him to be there. He could basically work as much OT as he wants.

That sounds very familiar! Rob is actually officially off Friday and Saturday. Sundays obviously he works, usually 7am-12pm or so. It's fine,though, since the kids and I are there (well, at 9:30ish). John often goes with him early. Then, we works until 8:30ish on Wednesdays. Again, we are there (until 7:30pm). And, like you mentioned, it's understood that about 25% of his time will be spent in study.

I forgot to say that DH does not get overtime at all, which ticks me off since he was working more than twice the hours he should have. But it's all good now.
My dh is salaried, but since he and his business partner own the company, they set their salaries and there is no contract. I would guess he works about 60 hours/week on average...some weeks it is more, others it is less. This includes taking care of emails at home in the evenings and on weekends. In addition to their salary, they also pay themselves out a couple of bonuses/year.
So lets both try to win
