If you're an hourly employee, under Department of Labor rules, you must receive
time and one half compensation for all hours worked in excess of 40 in any
given week. However, if you're considered a managerial or supervisory type of
employee, there is no limit to the hours that you can be worked unless
the limitation is specified in an enforceable contract or collective bargaining
type of agreement.
