Assuming you are an hourly (not salaried) employee, then yes: an employer must pay you for ALL work time (i.e. all clocked hours) and must furthermore pay you for overtime when you work more than 40 hours in a week--regardless of whether you were working your usual hours or shift or holding over into a second shift.
If you are salaried, they don't have to pay you extra: your weekly salary is your compensation for all hours worked that week.
