Is this fair/legal?

It depends if the job is salaried or not, look at your contract to see if you are entitled to overtime for anything you work outside your designated hours.
I have been in salaried positions before where pay was good and I almost never had to work extra hours, I did also work for a company that involved lots of hours and a lot of time away from home. They were paying an extremely good salary for the privelidge!
I oftn see jobs with a lot of overseas travel that are paying in my opinion peanuts, I expect a lot of cash for a position that expects me to be away from home.
Check what your contract says?
