how many hours do salary employees get paid for
That means that the employer does not have to pay you overtime when you work more than 40 hours per week. In fact, they do not even have to pay you the minimum wage for the hours that you work. They do have to pay your entire salary (unless you miss a day of work) whether you work 30 hours per week or 90 hours per week. To answer your questions in order, as long as you work at least 1 hour per day, the employer must pay your salary for the day.
