Perhaps the point that overtime drops of the radar should be moved up the pay scale. I have seen many places that require produce moves to occur late evenings and weekends, requiring people to work additional hours above their scheduled 40 hours per week.

First thing I'd want to be sure of is that highly compensated individuals (read CEOs, CFOs. CIOs, company presidents, vice presidents to name a few) are not allowed to be paid overtime. What level becomes highly compensated, that may be open for discussion, but I don't think it should include those of us in the trenches even if we are making $90K + a year. But I also don't think companies should expect us to work 50+ hours a week just because we are salaried professionals. You want us to work that number of hours every week, pay us for it. The occasional extra time is one thing, but constant is over the top. If you give us comp-time, give us time to use it, and also don't limit how much we can accrue and use during the year. Don't cancel vacations that are planned in advance. This means management needs to plan in advance as well.
