The first question is whether you were fired and replaced due to some discriminatory reason

Such as based upon you age, sex, gender race etc. If not you probably have no legal claim. You probably want to speak with an employment lawyer about this issue and the overtime issue. You can call my office if you like. You can also check out my employee rights blog at www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com.
