In some countries that's the case. I mean, from what I can tell, in (most of?) Europe, salaried position means you're supposed to work for X hours a week. Anything above is overtime. Depending on the local regulations, they often have to be paid or compensated in kind (work less later). They're pretty much never paid, but being able to work less after a big week is not uncommon.
