Nope. The salary amount is for whatever they require you to work in a month. If they hire you for $2500/mo and require you to work 57 hours per week, then you agreed to work what they ask for 2500/mo. If you don't like it, you will have to find another job.
There could be some legal implications if they misrepresented the workload and required # of hours when you agreed to work for them. It's unlikely you even asked how many hours they required you to work, though.

If you are a salaried worker and/or you have a contract that states what your wages are, and you have agreed to that, then there's nothing you can do. However, if you're paid hourly for 40 hours per week, any time after the regular scheduled time is supposed to be time and a half. Holidays are usually double time. Keep in mind though that the more you make, the more you are taxed! Good Luck! If you find that the discrepancy is in your favor, then you should get help from your local labor board. They will help you get any monies owed to you.

The degree you have is never gonna make you rich. But you are comparing 2 different positions and expecting the same pay. You could call them and speak to whoever the true decision maker is and tell them that you are interested in the position but you would really need $14.50 hr( or whatever you decide is fair) to accept the job. But be prepared in case they say no. Sounds like you're not sure if you really want this job anyway. Now that you have an education, some places try to get out of paying you what you are worth by saying because you have no experience, you're not worth as much. You will need to assert yourself and say--I may not have the work experience but I definitely have the knowledge, education and resources necessary to do this job well. Stand up for yourself. Good luck.

check with your local labour standards office.
in some jurisdictions salaried employess in some positions are exempt from OT wages, or if you have a written overtime agreement that banks OT hours to use as time off.
Employees whould know the labour laws for where there live and work, don't depend on your employer to "do the right thing" . Whatever saves an employer money & they can get away with, they will

Although you are a salaried employee, depending on your responsibilities you may be a "non-exempt" employee entitled to overtime. Contact the local Department of Labor, Wage and Salary Division for more information and to file a complaint, if necessary.

Mrs. Prissy,
I would suggest that you review your employment manual concerning management/exempt employee status for salaried
staff, and if you cannot find your answer in your guide then you should contact the department of labor and ask questions concerning the hourly and wage laws of the state you live in

If you're on salary, there's not much you can do. If not, try contacting the Better Business Bureau.

If you're salary, you'll work what they tell you to work and be grateful for the opportunity.
Salary = NO overtime compensation
