If you are wotrking more than eight (8) hours per day and forty (40) hours per week for the same employer you are entitled to overtime pay as a matter of law regardless if you work for to different stores for the same employer. I would advise your employer of this. Your recourse if you do not get overtime pay retroactive is to make a claim with your local department of labor of this issue.
