WRONG. The company doesn't set your duty day limits, the FAA does. This is why you shouldn't "show up early to help our on time" like some chief pilots have requested. Your duty starts when you show. If the company van gets you there 30 min early you run out of duty 30 earlier. If it looks like it will be an issue call crew scheduling to update your show time. If they refuse don't break an FAR, call out fatigued and file an asap.
