Many countries exempt programmers from any working hour limits - as professionals. Here they are even "exempt" from vacations, statuary holidays and sick leave. | |

Either it becomes REALLY expensive for your employer, or it is outright banned beyond certain amount of time. For example, in Finland, the employment law prohibits more than 138 hours of overtime during a timespan of 4 months. And a max of 250 hours total during a calendar year (which is right about 1 hour of overtime each working day for a year). | |
