Required to be at work for 50hrs a week, but paid for 40?

Just looking for somebody who has some advice here, as it doesn’t seem right. Just a quick breakdown: 10 hour shifts with a 1 hour lunch. So, 45 working hours a week. I am salary, though. Anyways, pay statement is salary wage for 80 hours every 2 weeks. So that’s 10 hours every 2 weeks that isn’t accounted for. Im not sure if being salary just negates that entirely or if I’m being screwed here… Just some quick math shows that if I was paid for those 5 hours extra every week that I work, that would net me an additional 9 grand a year. Any insight?
