Spanish term
conviniéndose que con la retribución asignada .....
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Human Resources
Spanish work contract
The full sentence is:
La jornada efectiva de trabajo será de CUARENTA horas semanales, prestadas de lunes a viernes no festivos, no obstante lo anterior, puntualmente se pueden producir prolongaciones de su jornada habitual, conviniéndose que con la retribución quedan compensados a tanto alzado, los posibles excesos de jornada.
I understand this to mean "you're not getting any overtime", although I am going to phrase it more elegantly (I hope): "However, the working day may occasionally be extended, in which case it is understood that the agreed salary covers any extra hours".
I just want to make sure I have got it right - because if not, it could be serious (I mean, doesn't that convene any number of labour regulations? - not an expert on labour law though, so just making sure).
Spanish from Spain, the employee is a project manager in the communications dept of a pharmaceutical.
TIA, MJ

A less formal version might go something like:
If we tell you to, you will work like a dog, but you will have no right to expect us to even throw you a bone for your extra pains....

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Robert. At the moment he makes twice what I do and he is guaranteed Sundays and holidays off, so I won't be crying too hard for him. (Seriously though, he's welcome to it. Wage slave - buah! hahaha!) |

expressly agree
Robert is right. Just in case you need a more "formal" version, this is my suggestion:
"the parties hereby expressly agree that the compensation ... "
Good luck
