I work an Alternate Work Week. Does the 8-hour day rule still apply?

If you have alternative work schedules, such as 10 or 12-hour shifts, you need to determine the rules which apply to your situation. If your company has instituted a bona fide alternate work week in which you normally work 10 hour days, 4 days a week, the overtime is after 10 hours rather than 8, but still after 40 hours in the week.  This alternate work week must meet certain formalities and can not be done on a person by person basis.
