Varies greatly by state. Enforcement, that is; federal law is pretty clear. Unpaid overtime is illegal, period, everywhere in the US. (The trick is to fudge the definition of overtime, as this case shows.) Some states, like California, are pretty rigid in their enforcement, as several large companies have found out (like Walmart).
