If non-exempt and required to work OT, that employee must be paid at
time-and-a-half for that OT, right?

For any work over 8 hours in one day, *or* 40 hours in the week, *YES*

Example: if you put in 5 12-hour days, you're entitled to time-and-a-half
for the last 4 hours of the 1st three days, *AND* everything after the
first 4 hours on the 4th day. Thus, out of 60 hours actually worked,
you're earning 'straight time' for 28 of them, and time-and-a-half for
32 of them.

Two situations make that statement not always true: compressed work
schedules, and flexible work schedules. Tens of thousands of nurses,
firefighters, law enforcement and prison officers, etc., are very
accustomed to work weeks other than "straight 40". There are CWS and
FWS agreements that call for "first 40" scheduling; you can work two 16
hour shifts and an 8 hour shift and be done for the week. Anything
beyond that is OT, but the 16 "additional" hours on the first two days
are *not* OT.

As to "other Kevin": bail, dude. You're on a sinking ship. I know
that $800-1200 per week is hard to give up, but it's easier to find
another job before all your co-workers are out there competing for them
too.
