How much unpaid work do you do per week that you could get paid for?

Cleaning about 20 hours

My husband worked for over 40 years for a Catholic school/church and everyday he went in 1 hour early and never wrote it down on his time sheet.

I've been salaried most of my career, so the possibility of working more than 40 hours per week has always been a possibility, but where they usually allowed fewer hours other days to balance it out. I do remember once we had something really special where we were paid extra (even as salaried employees) for coming in on a weekend. My manager told me not to tell anyone else since this was very unusual and they didn't want anyone else to request something similar. Company is long gone so no danger of that now.

I remember back doing contract work - I'd fill in timesheets for exactly 8 hours per day and didn't get paid any holidays. I showed up the week between Christmas and New Years where I had little to do, but they were OK with it since I got paid. My contracting agency's guidelines suggested not entering more than 8 hours a day or weekends, effectively like we were salaried. I never did, although I supposed I could have insisted on exact hours when I worked 11 hours in a day. I'm not sure what their deal was since they would have gotten more money, but it could have been for better relations with the companies they worked with.

I'm hourly at work, and at home I am not sure what te going rate for housework is but I do plenty of it.

I was salaried-exempt for 16 of my post college 42 years of work. I did okay financially compared to my hourly jobs before and after, , but after I left that job I discovered that all 6 out of state corporations that owned my employer were breaking California law because I NEVER made the minimum weekly salary that is legal here.
Currently a salaried-exempt employee must be paid a minimum of $1,240 a week.

About 12 hours a week, volunteering in a Kindergarten class.

I get paid for all my work. I'm salaried, but make a significant amount and don't need to put in a full 40 hours most weeks to get the job done so if I go over a few hours one week it's not a big deal. I also do extra projects as an independent contractor so earn for that as well.

My boss is frazzled everyday and I keep him organized. I believe that could be perceived as a personal assistant but, I drive a truck. Not sure what that title would be.
