Myself and other co-coworkers are expected to work a minimum 10 hours a day, 50 hours a week but we are paid salaried. Our boss tells us we "have" to or we "must" work 10 hours a day. Is this at all legal? I know as salaried employees you tend to always work above and beyond 10 hours but we're often almost 'expected' or 'required.'.....Anyone familiar with wages, please advise or where I can get help.

Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it's legal in almost every circumstance if you're salaried. If it is unbearable, you can always find another job...

Yes, by law a company can require you to work those hours. The company doesn't have to, they choose to. If they use the salary to have you slave more than your 50 every week, its time to find another job. But you have no fight there.
