I am a salary employee. It is set that I work 45 hours per week. My wage is figured on 8 hours of work with an hour paid break. I am an evening supervisor at a conveinence store in North Dakota. Am I entitled to some type of overtime pay for working more that 45 hours? For example by the end of this week I will have more than 65 hours in.

Salaried employees rarely get over time. You are set at 45 hour so why will you have 65? Do you have a written contract?

Sounds to me like a company that gets you to sign an agreement and then its ''oh by the way we need you these extra hours this week''.
I know businesses that do that. If she doesn't have it in a contract that specifically says 45 hours and it was just verbal they can get away with it.

You are either paid salary or wage or commission but you can be paid commission on top of salary or wage.

Whle there are exceptions, most salary is salary, for working any number of hours for that week.

"Salary" means that you get paid a set amount for your work, regardless of how many hours you actually spend on the job. That said, you would not be entitled to any overtime pay for working 65 hours or any other amount of hours. If your job description presumes a 45-hour work week then that's what you should be putting in. Now if you get called in to cover for someone else on your day off then that's something you have to negotiate before the fact. Otherwise, when called in like that politely refuse.

When salaried employees would ask me that question I always ask them if we deucted pay if we gave them a day off or early release, we did not.

You stated you got paid a one hour lunch break. Most employees don't get a "paid lunch" break.
