<prompt> Human: I am a software engineer who is a W2 contractor for a big health corporation. I am by no means making millions of dollars here but am making well into the six figures on an hourly basis. We are told to log for 40 hours no matter how many hours we work over 40. Obviously being a hard working Senior software engineer I give my all due to the position, demand, as well as fear getting kicked if not trying hard enough. Therefore I end up easily working 65-80 hours a week. I am losing 1000 to 2000 a week by lying about my hours.What should I do? Is this legal? I am honestly not sure what to do? I am losing a lot of money working but am also afraid of losing my job if I just do 9-5. Obviously I like what I do, but it seems unacceptable that I am not getting paid for what I do.  <response>: If you are being told you are only allowed to work 40 hours, yet you have to work more to keep up, thats on you. If they are asking you to work those extra hours but refusing to pay you, thats on them and its illegal.The wording matters a lot in these situations.
