Non-exempt Salaried employee, and they want to change hours so as not to pay overtime. Legal?

I'm a non-exempt, salaried employee for a non-profit. Recently, US changed the compensation for non-exemot employees – of which I am now one. The main difference, it seems, is now I need to track hours because I can be eligible for OT pay at 1.5 times. My job wants me to work for 3 hours this weekend, but is also “encouraging” us to take off 3 hours this week – presumably so they don't have to pay OT. Are they allowed to adjust my schedule like that? I'm salaried and would think I have to work the normal hours, M-F 9-5 as was the case when I was hired.
