I very rarely have to stay late at work, and if there is a need for me to stay late then I usually know well in advance.  I do travel now and then in connection with my work, and this tends to mean an overnight (or two) stay somewhere.  Again, I have good notice of those meetings.  Once or twice a year I have to work on a Saturday.  I am allowed to take time off in lieu of payment, so I don't lose out on "my time".  

Some industries do require personnel to work late and at very short notice - I am thinking particularly of some of the companies in the City here in London - but the salaries and benefits on offer to staff will be sufficient to compensate for those requirements.
