DOES WORKING PART TIME GET PAID OVERTIME PAY

Question

I HAVE BEEN OFFER A JOB GETTING PAID BY THE HOUR. I WAS TOLD THE JOB WOULD BE 50 HOURS A WEEK AND I WOULD NOT GET PAID OVERTIME BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A PART TIME JOB. THE JOB WILL LAST FROM A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF MAYBE 2 YEARS. I THOUGHT IF YOU WORKED FOR AT LEAST A YEAR OR MORE FOR A COMPANY THAT THEY MUST PAY YOU OVERTIME ALL OVER 40 HOURS.THE ONLY WAY A COMPANY COULD GET OUT OF PAYING OVERTIME THEY MUST LAY YOU OFF BEFORE YOU WORK THE FULL YEAR. I LIVE IN NC COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME ANSWERS ON THE QUESTION I HAVE ASKED **THANKS**

Hourly part time worker:

Could you please informed me of part time workers. How can you clairfy how a part time worker get paid over time? Does't a PT worker have to work over 40 hours in a week to get time and half?
