That's not entirely true. The guidelines applied are that unless you have supervisory status over other people, you are supposed to be hourly. There are certain exceptions that have been incorporated into wage and hour laws over time, permitting salaried pay to be used for non-supervisory employees.

Those categories include certain job classifications (like creative roles) and also if you get above a certain wage level. This allows employers to pay such employees based on a fixed salary without paying overtime. It doesn't mean that salaried employees are not bound by an expectation to "clock in" and work X-amount of hours on the job. It's merely a difference of whether you get overtime pay (or any additional pay) after 40 hours or not (union and other contracts notwithstanding).
