Hours worked in excess of the statutory maximum in any workweek are overtime hours under the statute; a workweek no longer than the prescribed maximum is a nonovertime workweek under the Law, to which the pay requirements of section 39-3-404 MCA (minimum wage) but not those of section 39-4-405 MCA are applicable.
