Yes, unless you are in one of the excepted professions or you are working as a 1099 independent contractor rather than as a W-2 employee. An example of an excepted profession is a lawyer or a doctor, something that requires specified knowledge or an advanced degree. If you are an independent contractor, the person or entity that gives you your paychecks will issue a Form 1099 instead of a W-2 at tax time. But be aware that just because your employer calls you an independent contractor and issues you a 1099, doesn't necessarily mean you actually are an indpendent contractor. If your employer dictates the terms and conditions of your employment such as what times you have to be there and that you have to report to an office, their issuance of a 1099 is illegal. If this is the case the employer should be reported to the IRS, as it is their legal obligation to pay more taxes on your behalf. But, if you are a straight W-2 employee, anything over 40 hours a week is considered overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act and you are entitled to receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek of at least one and a half times your regular rate of pay. For instance, if you make 8 bucks an hour and you work 50 hours in a workweek, you are entitled to 8 bucks an hour for the first 40 hours and 12 bucks an hour for the extra 10 hours you worked.

An employee is entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek. Eight hours of labor constitutes a day's work, and employment beyond eight hours in any workday or more than six days in any workweek is permissible provided the employee is compensated for the overtime.

When you work over your regular time assigned to you on that day.

It depends upon the laws of the state in which you are working. Most run with a 40 hour work week, but there are some that base it on an 8 hour work day, like California. There are also exceptions for shift work and similar items.

Federal law requires employers to pay overtime to employees who work more than 40 hours in a week. This does not apply to employees who are paid salary, rather than hourly.

Not sure what you are asking. You would be paid regular for the extra hrs but if less than 40 in a week, they would be at regular rate. Depending on your state if you work over a certain number of hrs in a day, they still have to pay you overtime on those hours even if under the 40 weekly.
