Depends on what state you live in and if its a fixed salary or hourly salary, for instance, in MA (time + 1/2 for overtime by law) if you get paid $10 per hour and work more than 40 hours in a week, every hour over that you will get paid $15. On the other end if you get paid $500 a week fixed salary that means if you finish all your work for the week by Tuesday, or if it doesnt get done until Sunday you get paid the same (an argument from the employer could be if you finish your work early/sooner than others should they pay you less because you didnt work as long?). You should talk to your employer about it and check any handbook/job description/contract you may have. if you are desputing with your employer about it you may want to seek legal advice to be sure of the legality of the situation. Another example would be, an automotive technician gets paid $20 flat rate, he/she gets a job that the industry standard pays 10 hours for, whether it takes them 5 hours or 15 hours to complete the task they still get paid for 10 hours.
The method of payment is irrelevant to qualifying for overtime. Getting a weekly or monthly poaycheck has NOTHING to do with qualifying for OT - only job duties matter. If your job duties are those of an overtime eligible employee, you qualify for OT. Your employer's preference or handbook is irrelevant.

What is an exempt and non exempt employee?
Exempt employees are 'exempt' from federal overtime rules and regulations, based on specific qualifications put forth by FLSA rules. (Executives, professionals, etc.) Non-Exempt employees are paid by the hour, and are subject to federal overtime rules (time and a half, for all hours worked over 40 in a pay week.) All hourly employees are non-exempt, all exempt employees are salaried, but not all salaried employees are exempt. Salaried employees must pass specific FLSA criteria to be categorized as 'Exempt', and therefore exempt from overtime rules.
Can salaried employees collect overtime pay?
Salaried employees are paid a fixed wage, however many or few hours they may work.
Do you get overtime with salary pay in Iowa?
By federal law, salaried employees are not required to get overtime pay. Your company may offer bonuses or incentives though.
Is it a law that all salary employees are going to hourly pay?
No, it is not ... at least not without some qualifications.The US is changing its rules regarding exempt employees (the new rules go into effect December 1 2016), and employees at the low end of the salary range may no longer qualify for exempt status. So SOME salaried employees may be going to hourly pay (which among other things, means they will now be eligible for overtime pay).
Which of these employees are eligible for overtime and holiday pay?

Can you as an employer change a salaried employee to hourly at a lower pay rate?

Is it legal to work someone over time and not pay them in dallas?
That depends. Wage and hour laws determine who must be paid overtime- and what IS overtime. Some employees are salaried employees, known as "exempt" employees. I am a manager, and I am paid a flat salary, without regard to the number of hours I work- whether 30 or 50. Your question, along with more information, needs to be directed to the Texas Employment commission.
Do a salaried employee's pay change if one week he works 40 hours and the next week 32 hours do the pay change?
If an employee is salaried then they have a fixed amount of pay per pay period so working fewer hours per week wouldn't change the pay. It wouldn't really make sense for a company to reduce the hours of salaried employees in order to save payroll costs. Salaried employees have reached a level of professionalism where they don't punch a time card. If someone is keeping track of hours for an employee, then they are most likely NOT salaried.
Who limited the workday to eight hours?
Nobody that I know of. You can work more than eight hours a day if you want and your employer will allow it.The reason your employer might not allow it is that generally they are required to pay overtime for any hours worked after the first 8. There are a couple of important exceptions: employees on a regular 10 hour per day (for 4 days per week rather than 5) shift do not get overtime pay, and salaried employees do not get overtime regardless of how long they work.
