The question is whether you're exempt or non-exempt, salary vs hourly is a misnomer when discussing OT. Not all salaried employees are exempt but I'll assume you are.. That means you aren't legally entitled to overtime under the FLSA so there is no limit to the number of hours your company can ask you to work and you're never officially off the clock. However, as pointed out above, most companies don't expect you to work 24/7. If yours does your best recourse is to talk to your boss or find another job.
Also the "new" law referenced above never took effect due to a federal court ruling. There are still supposed to be new guidelines from the DOL regarding OT at some point but I'm not holding my breath.
