Rather than paying overtime, they would have an incentive to hire more workers.

As an engineer in management operations for a mining company, I'll just throw out there that it takes an absolute gently caress ton of overtime to justify the overhead of another employee. I'm talking like...40% OT. What you need to remember is the overhead cost of a new employee is going to be roughly 30~40% of base wages and this is increasing annually with health care premiums continuously creeping up. Also, pension/401k benefits etc.

Typically, we justify a new position due to wear on the EEs and resulting safety issues before we can justify it over cost.

Also, as a salaried employee it is easy to get overworked. This is why you always keep your options open and push the issue for moving up/getting raises as time progresses. If you're good, you'll get what you're due or you should five on. The company won't hesitate you cut you if it's profitable to do so, and you need to be in the same mentality.
