It depends. Unless the employee is exempt, according to the Fair Labor Standards Act, employees must receive overtime for hours worked over a 40 hour workweek.

A listing of exempt employees can be found here: http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/screen75.asp

If you believe you are not exempt, or are not sure, I urge you to contact an attorney who practices employment law.
