In order to help you with this question, I need a little more informtation. In addition to be in a "salaried" employee, are you also treated as exempt from overtime pay requirements? In other words, do you get overtime pay when you work more than 40 hours in a single week?
Also, in anticipation of a follow up question I may have. In 20 words or less, what is your job title and what, very generally are your duties? Do you have hire and fire authority or do do you supervise any other employees?
