There is NO paperwork that the employer has to do to change how you are paid (e.g. hourly vs. salaried); your employer also does not need your consent or agreement to this change. All employment is "employment at will"; one of the things that means is that your employer can set or change how (and how much) you are paid at any time, without prior warning/notice or your consent.
