How does one work in industry and do their masters?

As the title suggests, I work for a company where people have completed their masters while working. I'm just curious about how this works. Do I still get paid my 40 hours a week? Do I conduct my research at work or at the school? I assume I have to stay on top of my regular work duties? Any info is appreciated I'd like to start reaching out to the prof I'm interested in working with, but would like some background knowledge beforehand.

I have a bachelors in chemistry and would like to take a masters in engineering. I work at a bio remediation / environmental company.

You need to ask your manager/HR. No one here can tell you how your company works. 

Some places have specific agreements with particular universities and others will just contribute towards the fees of a relevant degree. Some places will allow you to dedicate some of your work time to study, other places don't and you have to do it outside of hours. Sometimes you can tailor the research part to link to a project as part of your work, sometimes you have to do research at the university. It depends what master's you do and what your company allows.
