US -- I work from 8:30AM to 5PM with 1/2 hour lunch -- which I usually end up working through since boss' schedule can vary so much.  But they're really good about leaving at 5PM on. the. dot.  I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to stay after.  Working through the lunch also affords me some leeway if traffic is REALLY bad in the morning.

So far, it's been on the "honor" system, and I've never been one to abuse it.  We're moving to a system next month where our attendance will be measured by what time you log on to your computer.  Which is going to be interesting because there are times my workday doesn't start off in the office!  Sometimes I need to be at offsite meetings at 8AM, or, heaven forbid, the system is being cranky and it takes me 30 minutes to get on the system.  I can see a lot of problems with this system already, but it's what The Powers That Be have decided so, we'll just have to see how they deal with the issues.
