Now there's the rub.

Hourly paid workers work their hours. Salaried staff work untill the job 
is done.
I have worked several ghosters (two shifts of 12 hours). Twice when the 
clocks went back, making a twenty five hour day. The first time I was a 
contractor and got paid for it. The second time, by the grace of my 
supervisor got eight hours off. That still did not stop them from making 
me redundant when it suited them. LOL
