    Maximum working hours* which is not the same.

    Americans sign up for jobs at 40 and if they're salaried they almost all work at least 45, and are then expected to be contacted out of work.

    Word. I had a job that promised no more than 40 and my manager offered unofficial comp time for any overage. Then the economy slowed and they wanted to downsize, so fired me for working less than 40 hours one week a few months before.
