Salaried does not necessarily mean exempt from overtime rules.

It depends on the contract

Contracts don't override Federal or state law. Which is very clear about the requirements for being considered exempt.

There are some rules, but Salaried don't exactly have limits on hours they work Most work 55 hours but if they happen to be a manager, they could work more when filling in

I'm aware. I'm salaried and work 40-ish hours per week, but have worked more when needed.

Honestly, if your typical work week as a salaried employee is 55 hours, either your employer needs to hire more people, or you suck at time management.
