Do salary workers in the US not get paid OT??

After reading many posts I see things that have made me conclude that people that are paid with an established salary rather than a rate/hour don't get Over time. Is this true?? Don't you have contracts that define your salary and defined work hours? And if you are requested to work more you should be paid OT (at a rate higher than your salary) and only happens if you agree? I know the US has horrible labor rights like a limited amount of sick days, no minimum PTO by law, healthcare tied to emplyment, and managers not doing their job of looking for replacements in case a worker has an emergency and can go to work… So if this is true I guess is just another thing to add to list of shitty things you have
