From where I sit the issue appears to be with your current employer. As you should have time to do your own thing outside of work whatever it is be it a hobby or freelancing.
If you are having to work outside your contracted hours and you are working properly hard, then there is something wrong. You need to speak to your manager about either reducing/spreading your workload, getting in some temp staff in or getting training to do your job faster, better or helping your Time management.
Don't forget as employee you have rights and your company has a duty to you to help. Or you will burnout, and your work will suffer. so you manager/mangers should be looking to help you out as it in the end it helps them and the company out.
I would also say don't ask for more money as it won't help, what you need is to reduce your non-contracted/non-payed hours.
If worse comes to worse, just work your contacted hours and don't get the work done on time, people will soon notice there is an issue. Alot of people believe that their company will sack them if you don't get the "work" done, but that's simple not true.
As long as you keep doing the work outside your hours and don't say anything then nobody realises there is a problem.
I hope you can get it sorted then you can get on with enjoying your own time.
