The answer is, legally they can't: if you are hourly, you are not exempt from overtime. (Only salaried employees--and not all of them--are exempt from overtime.) If you are not exempt, you must be paid overtime. Your employer is breaking the law. Contact your state department of labor to file a comlaint for back overtime.
