It depends. If you are exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, then you are not entitled to any extra pay. However, if you are not exempt, then you are entitled to overtime pay. If you want to find out if you are exempt, you can either schedule a consultation with an attorney or you can check out the Department of Labor's website, www.dol.gov.
