So the answer to your question is that the papers say they work 40 hours
per week, but in reality they work more. The employment law doesn't
prescribe the actual number of hours worked by this class of employees,
and the employer can set the work product expectations as they see fit.



So employers who pay extra hours to exempt workers do so without any legal obligations?
I never heard of such situation. Normally, exempt workers might get a bonus payout at the end of the year, or receive some award. In some industries (e.g. banking, or sales) the bonus might be much bigger than the salary, but that's probably not very common in engineering/technology fields.
