Lots of extra hours, but no comp time?

[Sara]

I work in Indiana. I am on Salary, and work tons of hours. Is there any kind of limit as to what an employer can expect from an employee in the way of hours worked. There is no such thing as "comp time" in this company. Some days I work 14 -16 hours, but am expected to be there at my normal time the next day and not ever leave early.

My Salary is in line with others in my area for a 40 hour work week, but I am working much more than that. I'm not high enough in Managament to participate in any bonus program, so no extra compensation there. Shouldn't there be some advantage to being salary? If my clerk puts in the same hours, counting her overtime, there are weeks that she brings home more than I do.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

If you properly are classified as an "exempt" employee you have limited rights. If you are not exempt, no matter how the company considers you, you have all sorts of right. Ask the state labor board. But keep it quiet for now.
