Under the laws of all states in this country, all non-managerial employees and managerial employees who are paid on an hourly basis are required to be paid overtime for any time worked more than eight (8) hours in a day or forty (40) hours in a given work week.
From what you have written, the mandate would be in violation of state labor laws if overtime was worked without any compensation by hourly paid management staff who were not salaried.
