Do you work a 40 hour work week? Do you put in extra time, if so how often? Finally, when you do go home, do you leave your job at the office?

Lately only 40 hours a week (no overtime) and I try very hard not to "take my work home." When I go home I leave work problems at work. On the same note, when I am at work I don't bring my home problems to work. Well that isn't totally true if my daughter calls and says Mommy, I need this or that!

We are required to work 40 hours a week, though with a recent addition to our work requirements we are now adding 20 hours Mandatory OT to that each month. So in 4 weeks we would work 160 regular hours and then 20 hours OT. They are being "nice" and letting us come in on Saturdays (up to 8 hours) or we can work an additional 1-2 hours each day, but on assigned work for that time, meaning whatever you were doing at the 'end' of your day gets put away and you switch to the assigned OT work. Oh... and this mandatory OT will go from now till October, so there goes the summer! Yup, you can tell I'm thrilled.

It really varies depending on week, project etc.
Normal hours 40 a week, with hours 8:30-5:30 but if I'm caught up can leave at 5 (normal legal secretary work week is 37.50 hours so if you work over it's not overtime). If we have a project going I'm here until whenever finsihed. Fortunately both my bosses have younger childrren and lots of soccer games! None of my time is overtime, but it all balances out. Very rarely do I take work home, I occassionally check my webmail, if I know I need to respond to someone.

Our standard hours are 35 per week. However, my new job does sometimes require extra hours. As these mount up, I take time off.

Standard hours at 35 per week, with some flexi accrued most weeks. When I have to work evenings for Board / committee meetings I currently get paid an hourly attendance allowance which is changing from 1 April to an overtime rate or time off in lieu. I think I'll take the overtime and in fact, should earn a little more than the attendance allowance currently pays!

Standard 40 hours per week here, pretty normal for an hourly employee, but if you are salaried and travel it's more than 40. Fortunate for me I don't travel that much. Can count the number of times on one hand in 15 years.

40 hours plus every week. Ten mins for lunch. Extra hours worked - no overtime. No, I don't leave work at the office and find it hard to switch off.

My contract is for 38 hours a week with an hour for lunch. No requirement for overtime but often I choose to stay for an extra 30 minutes if I am in the middle of something and want to finish it off.
Like Sunflower, I too find it hard to switch off and will often think about work during the evening when an idea pops into my head.

Our typical office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or 40 hours a week. However, I come in early (usually by 7:30 a.m.) and often take shorter lunches. Right now, I'm averaging 43+ hours a week.
I usually don't take work home with me (in an emotional/mental way) unless something happened that really upset me or excited me. Very rarely, I have taken things home that had to be typed and were on tight deadlines (if we have several projects with a similar deadline).
Overall, I enjoy my job and co-workers, and feel blessed to work for a great company!
