  If you are salaried, it isn’t. But we know that salaried always mean you must work your full week and sometimes extra hours without more pay. But it never means you can work less hours with the same pay.

    This is not true where I live (New Zealand). Any hours over the weekly maximum specified in the contract (no more than 40 per week) are considered paid overtime. Additionally, the employer can’t unilaterally reduce the number of hours from what’s written in the contract.

      The US also has ‘salaried - non-exempt’ which would require the employer to pay for time above 40 hours. Manufacturing jobs aren’t allowed to be exempt from overtime pay. It is generally white collar workers that are allowed to be exempt from overtime pay.
