Correct, they are not going to pay you for any overtime. I would check with the Employment Standards Board about this. Unless there are special rules in your industry, it is against the law by not paying overtime.

This is exactly how it is at my work. I'm on salary I don't get paid any overtime and there is a lot of days I stay late. I also get a one hour unpaid lunch, half the time I work through it well I eat. Sounds kind of shitty but the flip side is if I ever need to leave early, show up late or want a day off it's never an issue and it's paid. I can pretty much come and go as I like as long as my work is getting done, I can even work from home if I want but I find I don't have the discipline so rarely do it.
It's all about give and take, having a good relationship with your employer. Now if they wanted to dock me those days I can't come in because my kids sick or I have a Doctors appointment I'd have a problem.
