Daily wage vs Salary vs Hourly

My wife is considering a new job that is basically her same job now but 2x the pay. One thing that stood out to me was the wage is on a daily rate. Is that considered salary, then? The only benefit I can see for it would be for the employer to exploit her for unpaid overtime. It’s pretty obvious she wouldn’t be able to bounce out a couple hours early if she wanted. I’ve honestly never heard of a daily wage. Are there any benefits to it?
