Working after hours without overtime pay is only for those with salaried positions, because they are paid a set wage.  For the hourly employee, it is not allowed in the United States.

Working late is effectively pointless if you don’t actually have any work to do. Only stay late when you have something to be getting on with. If you’re just staying for busy work, your intentions will sooner or later be confronted.

Managers are tasked with keeping employees on task to meet project deadlines. To complete the work, they must communicate with employees to ensure the goals and objectives are clear. Every action and interaction with employees should drive the business forward.however, when there are a need to make employees available for doing overtime beyond their 8-hour day,we should follow the mandatory laws to ensure the work gets done on time and in the same time to make sure that the employees are happy to work extra hours without being forced to do this.

To meet certain urgent, specific time-bound assingments, one may work after office hours occasionally. But it should not be a regular practice to work without any compensation.

Payment of overtime  depends on type of employe "exempt" or "non-exempt". An exempt employee (broadly classifed as white collar or salaried employees) may get compensation in other forms example, bonus. A non-exempt (blue-collar) is entitlted for payment of overtime.

It is imperative for the companies to follow the local labour laws and respect the employee's time and efforts.
