I would like to know if any hours worked after 40 is considered time and a half.
what do I do if the employers do not pay time and a half. what actions are taken then.

Federal law is clear. Any time actually worked over 40 hours in one week must be paid at time and a half. However, if you work, say four nine-hour days and have a day's paid holiday you do not get overtime because you have only worked actually 36 hours (even though you will be paid for 44 hours).
In some states the above scenario is modified. Some states have stricter laws than federal and, in that case, state law applies. For example, some states require overtime pay if you work more than a set number of hours in any day (usually 8 or 10). However, federal law is the minimum standard that all states must enforce.
All this assumes that the employee is non-exempt as defined by federal law. There are an awful lot of employees who got reclassified a couple of years ago.

Working Over 40 Hours

40 hours per week is considered full time. This is mandated by Federal laws. You should have a large poster hanging where you work that has all the rules on it. This is distributed by the Department of Labor and is required to be in an area where all employees can read it. What hours do the "full time" employees work? I only see 4 days (32 hours) in your question. Did you forget a day? NOTE: Wednesday was not mentioned. Are you employed through a Temp Service?

It depends on your employer, your state, and the presence of any collective bargaining agreement.
It's entirely possible that your job doesn't entitle you to time and a half over 40 hours a week. If that's the case, there's really nothing you can do about it. If it bothers you, you can find another job.
If you think the law in your state requires your employer to pay you time and a half, contact your state labor department.

in the UK (you have not stated where you live) this is a matter for your employment contract-the law says that (unless by prior agreement) your employer cannot force you to work more than 48 hours per week-if you contract states your hours of employment are for example from 7am to 3pm monday to thursday and 7am to 2pm on friday then any hours worked outside of this time are classed as overtime-there is no law that decrees what an employer pays you for overtime-but if you are not happy-don't work it. if you don't there is nothing he can do about it.

Depends on where you live. Some states it's time and a half over 8 hours. If you want the correct answer contact your local labor board.

well, if you are salaried there is no time and a half because it is built into the salary per week that you agreed upon at the pre hire interview. On the other hand, if you are hourly then they should pay you one and a half times your hourly pay for every hour over forty that you work in a regular work week.

I think it depends on the state & the company
