I am a salaried employee, I was told when I accepted this job that I would make X amount for the entire year. Even though I work untold amounts of overtime, can my company dock my pay for not working a full work week every once in a while?

Do they have a written policy?

I have had salary jobs and received X number of days off for vacation, X number for sick leave. When anyone exceeded those days they did not get paid.

I don't think this is unreasonable and it's legal.

If you are working a lot of overtime have you asked about "comp" time or bonuses? At some point it's an unfair situation.

Do you have a employee handbook? What does it say about this topic?
