FLSA law says that a week is 40 hours. If you worked more than 40 hours that week, anything over the 40 is overtime even if you worked only 37 the following week.

I am on salary but work 45 hours a week should you get paid overtime?

Per Federal Law, you need to understand the definitions used for pay. Non-exempt is usually an hourly employee and Exempt is usually a salaried employee. Some salaried employees are non-exept. Their salary is based on a 40 hour or pre-determined number of hours a week. If they work more than their determined number of hours per week, they get overtime pay. Exempt employees are exempt from the overtime laws. You are paid a salary per pay period no matter how many hours over 40 you work. You can work 40 hours or 90 hours and you will get the same pay either way. Non-exempt employees are not exempted from the overtime laws. If a non-exempt employee works more than 40 hours per week, they are required to receive overtime pay. One thing to remember is that overtime is only used for hours actually worked in excess of 40 hours per week. If you get 2 day of holiday pay (Christmas usually), those 16 hours of pay do not count for overtime purposes. You would have to work more than 40 hours in the days that you did not have off.
