What is your understanding of being salaried? Normally, a salary is an employment arrangement whereby the employee is paid by the week, month, etc. and not by the hour. Thus you would be paid a given amount every month without regard for how many hours you actually worked. If this describes how your salary works, the period of the power outage would not affect your paycheck.
