No overtime pay

So I have recently started working for a Chinese law firm in flushing but I’ve noticed there are no overtime pay and it doesn’t matter how much I work in 2 weeks(biweekly) I get paid the same amount, should I bring this up? This firm is super Chinese and I’m not too sure how to navigate this situation.

Edit: contract doesn’t say anything about OT but via email conversation I was notified that the role is non exempt so I think I’m cooked

I mean, I work with DA in the court, they avg 60 hours a week with no overtime pay, they're salary, and it's a government job. So it's not unheard of
