Hi,
That's not legal (at least not in Idaho). Someone on salary still can
only work 40 hours per week unless they are a "manager", meaning they
have 3 people "under" them, or they are a "professional" position
(lawyer, doctor, etc.).
One of my friends owns a drafting company. Had everyone on Salary for 2
years and was working them 50+ hours per week. They fired a guy and so
he turned them into the Dept Labor. After the audit, they had to pay
back overtime to everyone (costing them almost $40,000 for the 2 year
period).
We have guys on call. If they have to go after hours, we give them time
off during the payperiod so they aren't over 40 hours.

Put 'em on salary, that way you can work them as much as you want
without guilt. ;)
I'm not a tower climber, but I'm the one on-call pretty much all the
time. In the event of a big problem, I'll usually triage it (drive to
the tower, see if it's just a power outage or something else I can't
easily fix), and if it's something for which we need the tower guy, I
call him (and he gets normal overtime pay).
