Most veterinarians do work more than 40 hours in a week - they have to be available for all appointments throughout the day, as well as emergency calls and weekend work. However, depending on the contract the veterinarian signed, the vet may be paid more for the overtime work.

Do veterinarians work overtime?

No, veterinarians are professionals not hourly workers. This means that they work whatever hours are needed to do the job, if they need to work beyond 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week they get no "overtime pay", just their normal salary. To use the legal terminology, professionals are "exempt" employees meaning their work hours and pay rates are not regulated by law so they get paid a flat rate salary no matter how much or little they must work, while hourly workers and nonprofessional salaried workers are "nonexempt" meaning their work hours and pay rates are regulated by law so they must be paid a higher rate (usually time and one half) for any "overtime" work beyond 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.
