I for one don't want us to be like other countries where we work 12 hours a day, have little workers rights or have the mentality where I have to arrive before my boss and leave after my boss. However I know there are many on this forum that are from a culture where this is prominent.

I find this situation closely resembling big corporations that rely on part-time workers so they don't have to pay any benefits. They might not make you sign a form such as this, but they just won't schedule you any hours over and above.
Solution: owner should have just hired his employees all as part-timers or cap the full-time hours at 40 no exceptions.
