This may be a definition issue, so I'll give an example to explain it.
If someone makes $10/hour and they work 8 hours, they make $80.
If they work 10 hours at $10/hour here is the difference between overtime and not overtime:
With Overtime - $10/hour X 8 hours + $10/hour X 1.5 (overtime pay) X 2 hours = $110
Without Overtime - $10/hour X 8 hours + $10/hour X1.0 (reg pay) X 2 hours = $100
The worker still gets paid for 10 hours, but because the first worker gets overtime, they make an extra $10. The reason overtime exists is to prevent managers from requiring workers to work 16 hour days etc.
