No, it's not against the law. But you must be paid at least minimum wage for the time you work. And being on salary does NOT mean that you don't have to be paid for extra hours over your normal time. Unless you qualify as "exempt" from federal wage and hour law, and as a seasonal employee you probably don't, you must still be paid time and a half for hours over 40 in a week.
See dol.gov

It depends on what your job involves. The salary basis rule, which determines which jobs can be paid as salaried exempt (as in, "exempt from overtime pay requirements") are very specific. You must have a certain level of education, and often must have specialized skills or perform certain functions. If you don't meet those criteria, then, no, you cannot be paid on a salaried exempt basis.
See the wage and hour laws pertaining to overtime exemptions on www.dol.gov. Good luck.

No it is not against the law. Business is free enterprise, and if a person does not agree with the working conditions the employer puts forth for the employee then change jobs. If you were being held against you will and made to work against your wishes, then it would be against the law.

No but your salary must = or be more than the minimum wage for the average number of hours worked
