Alot of people were asking this, so do I or don't I get overtime for working during daylight savings time change?
If so, how would that work?

You only receive overtime if you worked 40 hours, so did you actually work 41 hours? So if you normally work 30 hours and last night you clocked 31 hours, you still will not receive overtime.
Now enjoy your extra hour of sleep!

Yes, if your total work hours for this work week exceeds 40, then you would qualify for overtime. For example...
If you worked 9 hours last night (instead of the usual 8), and adding the rest of your work week totaled 41 hours...then you would get 1 hour overtime.
If you worked 9 hours last night, and adding the rest of your work week totaled 40 hours or less, then you're not qualified for any overtime, even though you worked more than 8 hours in a single day.
...some employers will try to skirt around the issue by telling you that in March, when the time switches back, you'll get your full 8 hours even though you worked 7...they're obligated to pay you on a weekly (or bi-weekly, or monthly, as the case may be) basis...they can't make advance promises for work not yet performed.

Well, the company I work for pays me for the extra hour I ended up working last night. I work 13 hour shifts, (7:30-8:30), so I got paid for 14 hours. It's overtime only if it puts you over 40 hours worked for the week. And boy just let me tell you how much that sucked to have to turn that clock back to 1am at 2!! What a way to make the night even longer!!

If you are paid hourly, then you'd get an extra hour's pay, for the hour when the clock was set back. If that hour put you into whatever category is required for a company paying overtime (usually more than 8 hours), or if you put in more than 40 hours for your total week thanks to that hour, then that hour would be paid at your company's overtime rate.

I've never heard of anyone getting paid for an extra hour on Daylight Savings Time. You should though because you earned it by being forced to work an extra hour. Good point! I've never thought of that!

Time and a half for one hour over the 8 or 12 hours you've worked. There isn't any company out there that is that stupid to think they can get around paying for overtime during this period.

Why bother about overtime? U should adopt their life there. Enjoy while u can.
As long as u work more than 44 hour per week, u should be paid OT. Good Luck

Actually, this issue has come up, and overtime is only paid for actual hours worked, not what the clock says.
