In California, how many hours is a salaried employee expected to work? I have heard anywhere from 45 to 60. What is the norm?

It is up to each employer to establish the standard work week for exempt employees at their place of business. The expected work week can vary from 35 to 75 hours per week — and even more for some employers. An exempt employee who does not meet the employers standards for the number of hours worked can be disciplined or terminated.

There is not a lot of data on this, but the average work week for exempt employees appears to be 45 to 55 hours per week.
