Depends in where you live and what the laws state. It can also depend on your contract (if any) even "company policy" can be considered a contract. I would advise that you go to the nearest Legal Library and ask a clerk for help. Most often clerks in legal libraries are fresh students who are working toward their law degree, in many cases they will gladly offer you advice and even start you in the right direction as to how to sue or seek remedy in civil law cases. Most would be familiar with the state laws about hourly wages, contracts and all that and most could clue you in as to your rights. Second option would be the Department of Employment on the state level. They not only hand out checks to unemployed people and help them find jobs, they also help people when it comes to the law and workers rights.

Employers do that by cleverly beginning and ending the work week so you are mostly just getting just 40 hours in the work week. Done mostly in things like resturant and other jobs where hours are very variable. Sometimes they even have you work 8 hours ending at midnight and continue working another 8. Because it's a new day you aren't really working overtime. Diabolically clever of them.
