No. Payment for over-time is not regulated, it is a matter for the contract of employment.
If you employer states in the contract that they will pay additional monies for work in excess of 40 hours then they are bound by the contract to pay it.
If they do not state anything about additional payments...you still have the right to refuse to work additional hours that you are not contracted to work.
The only exception is 'contractual over-time' which must be stated within the contract.
God I have a boring job!

There are exceptions but Federal labor laws say overtime pay for work over 40 hours for hourly pay employees. A company cannot arbitrarily elect to not pay overtime. If a person goes from wage hour to salaried, unless there is some written agreement or contract to the contrary, I don't see why an employer is obligated to put them back on wage hour.

There is no entitlement to paid overtime - it depends what is written in your contract of employment, or whether there is 'custom & practice' in your workplace of paying time and a half after 40 hours - presumably you mean 40 hours a week

Everyone who says "yes" above is a damned liar. That's right! A damned liar! Robert C and his left-ish ilk are right, more beer and sandwiches for them!

Time and Half. It all depends if you are working on a contract. If it states that you are required to do what it akes to get the job done then no. If it states that you are to work a min. of 40 hours then yes you get it.
If you are an employee of a seasonal establishment and they are denoted for that then you do not get time and half.

No. They can pay you what they like. You signed a contract didn't you?

Yes and No
Yes to those who are hourly waged.
No to those who are salary based.
If you are hired by hourly, yes by law you should be paid OT.
If you are paid by salary, no, you have to work whenever you need to. But then salaried people tend to make more

not unless it states that they will in your contract

it depends what your contract says.
If you work full time and your contract says for arguments sake that full time is 36.5 hours.
Any hours above 36.5 hours must then be payed at time anda half.
