Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
My husband works for a government contracting company in a non-management position. He is paid salary twice per month so an average work week would be 88 hours. In the last month he has worked (without a day off) 130 & 125 hours for the last 2 pay periods without being paid any extra...no overtime pay or strait time pay for the extra hours. Is that legal?

No, if your husband is regularly compensated on a per hour basis he must be paid time and one for all hours worked in excess of 40 in any given week.
Yes, if your husband is correctly classified as a so-called salaried employee
under the rules/regulations of U.S. Department of Labor which govern such definitions.
