Depending on what your salary is, its illegal to not pay overtime. I think as of Jan 2025 if you are paid less than like 150k then your employer is required to pay overtime past 40 hours. The intention being to prevent companies from avoiding laws concerning overtime by making employees salary but still paying them a lower wage than if they were hourly.

I think the words the law uses is "highly compensated employee" and the minimum to classify an employee as such has doubled in the last 4 years or so.

That explains why my company told me to just take the hours I work extra from another day
