More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law. This answer does not constitute legal advice; make any predictions, guarantees, or warranties; or create any Attorney-Client relationship.
A: I assume you are eligible for overtime (e.g. you have received it previously). If so, then the answer is OT begins after the 8th hour of work in a given day, even though you are still under 40 hours for the given week. Thus, in your situation, you have 1 hour of OT on day 1 and 2 hours of OT on day 2, 3, and 4. The first 8 hours you work on day 5 will be regular time. Anything after that is OT. If you work less than 12 total hours, OT is 1.5 times regular pay. OT for time after the 12th hour work is 2 times regular pay.
