Generally speaking, overtime must be paid for any work beyond 40 hours/week notwithstanding the implementation of a valid alternative workweek schedule, or lack thereof. Moreover, recent changes to Labor Code Section 511 may have certain impacts on the validity of a properly adopted alternative workweek schedule.

That said, there is simply not enough facts in your question to warrant a full and complete response to your particular situation and inquiry. I strongly suggest that you contact a local employment attorney to discuss your situation in greater detail. If you are located in the Los Angeles area, feel free to contact my office to discuss the specifics of your matter.
