    For our regular jobs: I am paid hourly and I work at right about 40 hours/week, give/take a couple hours.  The FI is salaried and he works 40 hrs/week.  We rarely go over that.  When FI's doing side projects (videos) - well that varies!  He can plug in another 2-5 hours daily just editing.  But that only lasts a week or so until a new project comes up.

    I work at least 40 a week and I'm salary.  I probably should be working more but with the wedding planning I feel like I'm working TWO full time jobs!!

    We both work 40 hours a week... I work a 9/80 schedule so I work 9 hour days and have every other Friday off, which is great to meet with wedding vendors!

    Right now I'm almost at 40 hours a week (part-time university worker paid bi-weekly). I'm between internships and am able to pick up a lot of hours. Once school starts, it'll be more around 30 hours. The internships are killing my bank account though. 40 hours a week with NO pay and no way to hold a job around the crazy scheduling. Good thing they're only 1 month a piece!

    I work 40 hours a week and get paid... NOT AT ALL.

    I'm interning for the summer, and I guess I could have chosen to stay home and do nothing for the nothing I get paid, but hopefully someday this will translate into increased earning potential. ;)

    As a business owner, I work anywhere from 30 hours to 60 hours a week. I don't really keep track. I come and go as I please, but I work silly hours. I'm at work right now (1130pm) and I'll be back here in probably 5 hours. I get a salary, but I am ridiculously underpaid lol. 

    I also teach yoga 2-4 nights a week & for that I get paid per class (depends on number of students + hourly wage).

    I'm salaried, and the amount of time I spend working varies dramatically, though rarely below 40.  but if you add up all the time I spend in airports it's way more on average.

    FI is also salaried, and typically works about 60-ish.

    The job I get paid for is hourly - forty hours a week. My guy works 60+ per and is salary.

     I'm guessing our other "job" doesn't count - being parents is 24/7 year-round for the rest of our lives - we mostly get paid in hugs & kisses :)

    I work 40+ hours a week. At one job, I'm full time salary paid, and I used to hit the 40 mark but now that my summer camp has begun, I've been pulling at least 50 hours a week (and I don't get OT pay, just have to find a day to take my comp time). My other job is one day a week, so it's an 8 hour supplement.

    My FI works 20 hours a week at an hourly PT job. I wish they would give him FT already!

    I work roughly 60 hours a week, salaried (but bonuses are based off hours billed...).  FI works about 90 hours a week (he is a surgical resident...the law says he can work 80 but no hospitals adhere to this around here so he ends up working betgween 80-100).  He's also salaried.

    We have no lives!!

    I work 40/week, and am paid hourly.  My days off are lame though, because where I work is open 7 days/week.  Yay for the 4th of July coming up, because we get double time =)

     The FH works 40/week as well, but is salaried and works 9 hr days and gets every other Friday off.

    I'm in my office for about 45 hours/week, but I'm always going to meetings/functions after work, so it ends up being way more than that. I also have a bberry and am constantly working after hours if you count that (Salary). The FI has the same situation, although he spends more time in the office than I do. It works out really well because we work in the same building (for different companies) so he'll get in a lot earlier than me (which frees up the bathroom) and we can go to lunch together, etc.

    I work in public accounting, so my working hours vary throughout the year.  At the minimum I work 40 hours per week, and during busy season (approx mid-January through mid-April, and again in Aug-Sept) I work anywhere from 50-75 hours per week.  I don't get paid overtime, but the flexibility that I get during the slower times (coming in late, working from home) almost makes it ok.

    My FH and I are both on salary. I teach, so I spend about 45 hours a week at school. But easily another 10 hours a week working from home. I am not working this summer, it given me lots of time to get wedding things done. Woo hoo for summer vacation!!!!!

    My FH works about 45 hours a week, and spends about 15 hours working from home.  IMO we work entirely too much.  It worrys me when I think about having kids, will we ever have enough time to give them the attention they need?

    I work 40 hours a week (hourly) and get paid every week, which is great.  During busy periods, we are sometimes asked to work overtime/weekends (it's usually offered as an option, not required) and make time and a half for anything over 40 hours.

    FI works 40 hours a week but occasionally has to work more than that, and he's salaried, so he doesn't get paid any differently if he works more than 40.

    Unfortunately I am shall we say "between jobs"? I'm hoping I get a full time salaried position SOON but until then I work about 20 hours a week in retail and get paid biweekly. FI has a GREAT job working 40 hours and salaried. He also gets some great holiday pay as well as some fantastic overtime opps.

    I really need a real job.

    I started out as salaried, but there was some sort of lawsuit in my company and everyone on my job level got switched to hourly.

    I'm an hourly worker at 40 hours a week.  Very rarely do I do overtime, and even then it's like 1 hour a month or something.

    My husband is hourly at 40-45 hours per week for 6 months out of the year.  During the summer 6 months, though, he is hourly and works 60-75 hours a week.  It's ridiculous!

    Paid hourly, work about 40 hours a week, overtime as necessary in our busy times (yay ^_^). Recently, I'm one of the few in our office, though, who are approved to work overtime as needed due to the nature of deadlines, etc. Which is nice for me, not as much for them. :P

    Mr. Spin will be a physician assistant...I think they're usually paid hourly? Anyone know for sure? I don't even know how many hours a week he'll be working. We're going to cross that bridge when we come to it, but I know it'll be more than 40.

    I work a 9/80 schedule like a previous poster... 9 hours M-Th and then alternate 8 hour Fridays or off Fridays; salaried and paid twice monthly.  I'm blessed to work for a company where work-life balance is really strongly emphasized (at least in my my department).  Love it!

    I work between 50 and 55 hours a week and am salaried.

    Mr.Rain works about 40 hours a week, but is hourly and only gets paid for 30 (I think) since a good chunk of what he does is research for his thesis.

    I work in a law firm and work an average of 55-60 hrs a week. I'm paid hourly.

    FI is salary, and works about the same as I do. He works for an advertizing agency.
