And, in some states at least (I'm thinking of CA here), engineers are 
"exempt" - exempt from overtime and such, and are on a straight salary no 
matter how many hours they work.  Someone else can fill in the details 
better than I, but I've seen that happen in places.

I feel lucky where I am.  I'm considered "exempt" in that I don't get 
overtime - but I do get paid for every hour worked, so when I was here 
until one in the morning one time working on a proposal, I got paid for all 
of those hours.  I also don't need to spend half an hour in paperwork to 
get approved to work an extra hour.  I work until I get the project done, 
and I get paid for what I work.  At times I wish I got paid time and a half 
for the extra hours, but other times I'm happy that I do get paid for when 
I work.  Being a first time homeowner (as of last Friday), that is a big help.
