From my casual observations we are really clueless about this stuff in the UK - both employers [most] and employees [some].
But for the most part its ridiculous to ask employees on minimum / living wage to go beyond their agreed duties / working hours. Unless an emergency and the time / benefit can be given back somehow.
Now, if they were partners or shareholders or had performance related pay and didn't just feel they were working their assess off just to put somebody else's' kids through college...
