Why do salaried employees work up to 20 additional hours per week than what’s required?

As a salary employee I’ve always been able to complete my job responsibilities within a 40 hour work week while many of my co-workers would work another 15-20 hours per week in addition to the 40 hours. When you break it down they end up earning less money for all the extra hours worked not to mention less work/life balance.

I think that is a really great question Tony!!! I actually wonder the same thing. Finding that balance is really important to me, and I personally would have a difficult time if I were working so often.

People have different work styles.

What you might be able to accomplish in 20 hours is different from what other people can accomplish.

Also, companies sometimes try to take advantage of salaried workers, making them feel guilty and having them work longer hours. I'm a salaried worker and sometimes I personally feel guilty that I don't finish tasks that day so I stay over longer. It's kind of a bad habit :/
