You're probably misclassified under the DOL as exempt anyway. (If so, could be due back pay for overtime, etc.) Companies like to misclassify workers thinking they can get overtime for free but if the person isn't actually doing higher level exempt things, it can subject them to fines and backpay for it. I highly suggest talking to an employment lawyer in your state.
I wouldn’t say it’s common, but I’ve definitely seen it happen. Basically, they’re just piling extra work on you with no extra pay. If they aren’t willing to compensate you, I’d start exploring other options. Sounds to me like you’re being taken advantage of.
Hate to say it, but this happens a lot. Salary and you’ll “mostly” work 40 hours with a rare exception. Next thing you know, that exception is weekly. Try to outline that this isn’t what you agreed to, and you are open to a solution. If they aren’t receptive, explore other options. Has anything else changed or been misleading?
