This may turn out to be a learning experience for you. The Federal labor law says that if a meeting is REQUIRED that the company has to pay for the meeting. HR may be able to assist. Also if you were fired to keep the secret that you were not paid AND YOU HAVE PROOF, talk with HR.

Did you already work the overtime or was he saying he couldn't pay you to work the overtime? Just curious whether you had to complete the additional work outside of your full-time hours. I believe employers can determine whether overtime is allowed/budgeted (in which case some work simply won't get done), but if you already worked the overtime, they are certainly required to pay you.

I am hourly salaried / non exempt and make a salary. However we have to log in and out and if we mess out time up we can lose time and they don't just give us our salary. But if we go over then we get in trouble - I am talking 15 minutes over.
At my other job, we discuss productivity over time and get paid a fair wage
