Sadly it feels that overtime has been eliminated from the industry. Every contract I've ever signed (and this is in the supposedly more worker-friendly EU) has had text along the lines of 'Your working hours are 40h a week. Occasionally you may be required to work more. Overtime is not compensated.'
The best I've had in a workplace is an informal policy of time-off-in-lieu for extra hours worked.
